# Responsive table – scroll without flip

 * Hi,
 * I was just wondering if there is, or will be, any way to use the responsive table
   so that it scrolls on phones, but doesn’t flip. The table I’m using is taller
   than it is wide. I need only to scroll, not to flip.
 * Using Scroll instead of Flip works great for phones, but then I have an unneeded
   scroll bar when viewed from the desktop.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m not really sure what you mean. The `scroll` mode of the Responsive Tables
   Extension from [https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/)
   does just that.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the follow-up. When I set
 * `[table id=2 responsive=scroll]`
 * I see a scroll bar when viewing the table on a desktop. But on a desktop, the
   table doesn’t need a scroll bar. In fact, even though the scroll bar is displayed,
   it’s not possible to scroll it. It looks like [this](http://pasteboard.co/1GYQsPet.png).
 * What I really need is to have it scroll only on phones like this:
 * `[table id=2 responsive=scroll responsive_breakpoint=phone /]`
 * but that’s not available.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m afraid that’s not easily possible. Also, you should only see that scrollbar
   in Internet Explorer on the desktop. All other browsers should hide it, as the
   table is not scrollable.
 * To work around that, you could maybe play with CSS3 Media Queries, and e.g. add
   some “Custom CSS” like
 *     ```
       @media (min-width: 1000px) {
         .tablepress-scroll-wrapper {
           overflow-x: visible;
         }
       }
       ```

    Tobias

 * OK. Thanks for your help. I’ll play around with the CSS.
 * I’m seeing the scroll bar in Chrome, by the way. That’s where the screenshot 
   came from.

 * Hi,
 * hhm, that’s strange. Then, the CSS approach should be the best way to proceed
   here.
