# Bug when using Horizontal Scrolling

 * The Main reason why I choose to use Tablepress was for the Horizontal scrolling
   feature for phones. We have a large schedule of classes that we display on a 
   page and wanted to make sure that everyone on mobile phones could see everything.
 * The problem that I am facing is once I enable the horizontal scrolling feature
   the table no longer expands to 100% of the website’s content area. It took me
   about 30 mins of testing to finally narrow down that it was this particular feature
   doing this. Once I disable the horizontal scrolling the table went back to being
   100% on in the body of the content on a desktop. I am pretty sure this is a bug.
 * Any help with this would be awesome!
 * Here is an example of the table I am having issues with. I disable horizontal
   scrolling on it so it would expand 100% but I would really like to use this feature
   for mobile phones.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yeah, this issue has unfortunately appeared with the latest version of the DataTables
   JS library. I hope that I will be fixed in the next release.
 * Fortunately, there’s an easy work around: Please uncheck the “Horizontal Scrolling”
   checkbox on the table’s “Edit” screen and instead use the `scroll` mode of the
   TablePress Extension from [https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/)
   
   That uses the same technical mechanism and should be a good replacement.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
