DataTables scrollX Option
DataTables is jQuery plugin that can be used for adding interactive and advanced controls to HTML tables for the webpage. This also allows the data in the table to be searched, sorted, and filtered according to the needs of the user. The DataTable also exposes a powerful API that can be further used to modify how the data is displayed.
The scrollX option is used to specify whether horizontal scrolling should be enabled in a DataTable. This option will enable the user to horizontally scroll any overflowing content in the table itself. This can be used when there are a lot of columns or the columns do not fit in the layout. A true value enables this scrolling and a false value disables it.
Syntax:
{ scrollX: value }Option Value: This option has a single value as mentioned above and described below:
- value: This is a boolean value that enables or disables the horizontal scrolling of the DataTable.The default value is false.
The below example illustrates the use of this option.
Example 1: This example enables the horizontal scrolling of the DataTable.
HTML
Output:
Example 2: This example disables the horizontal scrolling of the DataTable.

Output:
DataTables example - Scroll - horizontal
DataTables has the ability to show tables with horizontal scrolling, which is very useful for when you have a wide table, but want to constrain it to a limited horizontal display area. To enable x-scrolling simply set the parameter to be whatever you want the container wrapper's width to be (this should be 100% in almost all cases with the width being constrained by the container element).
The example below shows a table too wide for the containing element with x-scrolling enabled. The CSS option of is also set to have the text content of each row on a single line (otherwise the browser will line break the text to have it fit into the available area).
