moving vertical scroll bar to left of table?

gfong

is there a way to do this? I couldn't find any info on this. I got a datatable with 40 + columns. it would be useful to have the scroll bar on the left than on the far right ...

DataTables uses the native scrolling provided by the browser. So some browsers (Webkit probably) may have a way of doing this, or your could use rtl text as that will layout the scrollbar on the left (again on some browsers OSs).

thanks! i tried a bit and i got this :http://postimg.org/image/s9m1f74pp/

unfortunately, all the columns aren't lining up since the scroll bar isn't taken into account for the header space. Is there a simple fix? how?

Which version of DataTables are you using? Is it 1.9.4? If you try 1.10 ( https://github.com/DataTables/DataTables/tree/1_10_wip/media/js ) it supports rtl layout.

I doubt it supports the scrollbar being on the left without rtl layout though - I've never tried that!
