Horizontal scroll on overflow of table

I have a basic table in a container. The table will have about 25 columns. I am trying to add a horizontal scroll bar on overflow of the table and am having a really tough time.

What is happening now, is the table cells are accommodating the cells contents by automatically adjusting the height of the cell and maintaining a fixed table width.

I appreciate any suggestions on why my method is not working on how to fix this.

Many thanks in advance!

CSS

.search-table-outter {margin-bottom:30px; }
.search-table{table-layout: fixed; margin:40px auto 0px auto;  overflow-x:scroll; }
.search-table, td, th{border-collapse:collapse; border:1px solid #777;}
th{padding:20px 7px; font-size:15px; color:#444; background:#66C2E0;}
td{padding:5px 10px; height:35px;}
tr:nth-child(even)  {background: #f5f5f5;}
tr:nth-child(odd)   {background: #FFF;}

HTML

<div class="search-table-outter wrapper">
    <table class="search-table inner">
        <tr>
            <th>Col1</th>
            <th>col2</th>
            <th>col3</th>
            <th>col4</th>
            <th>col5</th>
            <th>col5</th>
        </tr>
        <?php echo $rows; ?>
    </table>
</div>

JS fiddle (Note: if possible, I would like the horizontal scroll bar to be in the container with the red border): http://jsfiddle.net/ZXnqM/3/

I think your overflow should be on the outer container. You can also explicitly set a min width for the columns. Like this:

.search-table-outter { overflow-x: scroll; }
th, td { min-width: 200px; }

Unless I grossly misunderstood your question, move overflow-x:scroll from .search-table to .search-table-outter .

http://jsfiddle.net/ZXnqM/4/

.search-table-outter {border:2px solid red; overflow-x:scroll;}
.search-table{table-layout: fixed; margin:40px auto 0px auto;   }

As far as I know you can't give scrollbars to tables themselves.

   .search-table-outter {border:2px solid red; overflow-x:scroll;}
   .search-table{table-layout: fixed; margin:40px auto 0px auto;   }
   .search-table, td, th{border-collapse:collapse; border:1px solid #777;}
   th{padding:20px 7px; font-size:15px; color:#444; background:#66C2E0;}
   td{padding:5px 10px; height:35px;}

你应该在div中提供滚动。
