I need to construct an HTML table (for use with tabular data only of course) that will have a variable number of columns. I want to adjust the width of the table depending on the width of the browser screen. In other words, I don't want the user to have to scroll horizontally to see the right end of the table. Instead I want to have a small drop down button in the top right corner that the user can click and see and/or select the remaining columns.I have seen this done before but I can't remember where or how.
I would recommend using jQuery. Detecting the browser width and showing as many columns will fit is quite easy. You can write it all from scratch or start with some of the great data table plug-ins out there, such as these:
http://www.datatables.net/examples/example_hidden_columns.html http://www.flexigrid.info/This plug-in provides the ability to hide the columns (still there and searchable). You would simply have to write the part that detects the width, hides those that don't fit, and create a drop-menu for replacing visible ones with hidden ones.
