User friendly for extra wide tables?
User friendly for extra wide tables?
Wondering if anyone has come up with anything for extra long/wide tables when using DT. I know there is the scrolling option and I have that in place, however, it only seems useful if you are displaying 20 rows or so on the page. Say you have 100 or more showing on the page... well if you need to move to the right to see the rest of the columns for a row you have to scroll down to the end of the table to get to the scrollbar and by the time you go back up probably have no idea what row you were looking at.
Adding the scrollbar to the top really isn't an option either as you could always be looking at a row 'in the middle' and have the same problem. Anyone have any suggestion for this or run into the same problem and came up with something?
