rotate large table ajax

Question

hi everybody,

I have a very large table (that overflows the content div) and because it's dynamic it can contain at least 20 columns. Anyway, the problem is that I'm obliged to put this table in a "tight" div. And, the idea is to avoid the overflow and, to display elegantly all the columns so that it can rotate horizontally (a slide from left to right and possibly with "previous" and "forward" buttons).

Is there a ready script to help developping that?

Thank you very much, Regards.

You could set it up so that it can be scrolled horizontally within the alloted div:

<div style="width: 100%; overflow-x: auto">
  <table> [ really wide table data ] </table>
</div>

This would result in the table to be contained in a horizontally scrollable div. It would only look good if the table is not taller vertically than the window height (that is it can fit in the window vertically without needing to be scrolled)
