CSS units are also allowed (i.e. '20em', '30%', etc.). Note This works by duplicating the entire table and then using CSS to lock the clone of the table to the top of the div. Conceivably, for extremely large tables, this can result in a significant amount of extra HTML code to download versus if scroll_head_unlock is used.
This script and CSS makes the sidebar stay in the same position on the screen as you scroll. This may have undesirable side effects in Chrome; e.g., when viewing a page like the very common.css page you just edited to put this code in, the viewable content will become much shorter, and require vertical scrolling in a frame.
The table's horizontal scroll doesn't work with this template, so wide tables span outside of the main content area making the entire page wider and requiring you to instead horizontally scroll the entire page. Zooming out to see the entire table makes the headers sticky, but also makes the text smaller and less readable the wider the table is.
Note: For vertical alignment of text see: Help:Table#Vertical alignment in cells. If there is no global text alignment set in the top line of the table wikitext, then all text is left aligned, except for header cells which are default center aligned.
MediaWiki’s wikitable class (class="wikitable") is designed for straightforward table formatting and enforces certain global styles that make removing borders between adjacent cells challenging even if custom CSS styles attempt to eliminate these borders. Specifically, the class includes:
collectively for all users of one wiki in MediaWiki:Common.css (for example, on this and some other projects there is or was the class wikitable, later moved to shared.css) separately per skin in MediaWiki:Monobook.css etc. individually on one wiki in a user subpage
The scrollbar only appears if the table is actually wider than the page. This template allows up to 30 row headers passed as parameters to its {{ Scrolling table/top }} subtemplate, for convenience. Extra row headers can be added using regular table syntax, between the {{ Scrolling table/top }} and the {{ Scrolling table/mid }} subtemplates
(This mode also allows horizontally auto-scrollable galleries by embedding them in a large container within a scrollable container sized to fit the page width.) For example, take the following: <gallery mode= "packed" > Detroit Publishing Co.
