How to add Scrollbars in atable?

How can I add scrollbars in a table?
So that my contents in it not get disturbed as per the clients machine screen's resolution.

wrap it in <DIV> tags as follows:

<DIV STYLE=&quot;height: 100; overflow: auto;&quot;>
<TABLE>
...table code here

</TABLE>
</DIV>

set the DIV height to whatever you like. If the contents of the table exceed this height then the DIV will show a scrollbar. Tony

CSS provides rules that allow you to specify how to deal with overflow of content - including adding scrollbars. Unfortunately, this is not yet supported in the context of tables with current browsers. However, if you set the width of your table explictly, it should stay that size no matter what screen resolution the client has. Then, if it the table is bigger than the client's viewport, the browser would provide scrollbars on the window itself, allowing you to see what is beyond the edges of the viewable area. This &quot;resizing&quot; of the canvas shouldn't affect the flow of other elements on your page.
The property for setting the width of your table is simply 'width=&quot;#&quot;', where # is any positive integer, without units (pixels are the implied unit). You can also use the width property of CSS to achieve the same effect (this one does require units to be specified). -----------------------
