Horizontal Scroll - Scrolling on the Header

amgarw

In the Horizontal Scroll example: https://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/scroll_x.html

If you try to scroll horizontally while your mouse is over the header, it does not scroll the table and headers horizontally.

Is there a way to make that work?

Currently no - the way the scrolling works in DataTables is that the header and body (and footer if there is one) are split into separate tables. The header is set to overflow: hidden so there isn’t a scrollbar specifically for it (which would be really ugly!) and we use Javascript to keep the header and body in lockstep when the body is scrolled.

So I’m afraid that there is no way to do that at the moment.
