CSS 100% width scrollbar (overflow-x) within a table cell
Solution 1
table { table-layout: fixed; }
Making the table fixed solved it for me.
Edit: seems I'm a few seconds too late!
Solution 2
Add table-layout: fixed;
to your .table
class.
.table{width:100%;margin-top:50px; table-layout: fixed; }
Here's an example:

it's my first post. Finally I decided to join you all at stackoverflow!
My problem is about an horizontal scrollbar which has to fit 100% to its container. In the following example you'll find everything you need to understand my problem.
So the question would be: why the code works fine in first case but when nested within a table cell (second case) then the scrollbar overflows its container? Why this happens and how could it be fixed? One could say: "just get rid of tables", but I need this code working in a big site which has some table layout. Getting rid of tables would represent for me hundred hours of work.
Main difference between first (correct) and second scrollb (incorrect) is:
First scroll (correct)
<div class="hscroll"> (images) </div>
CSS code of the horizontal scroll:
.hscroll { overflow-x:scroll; overflow-y:hidden; white-space:nowrap; }
Second scroll (incorrect)
<table><tr><td> (same code as first scroll) </td></tr></table>
I'll appreciate your wise suggestions very much.
Gerard.
