Govspeak content example

Wide table

Wide tables are enhanced with two features to help users navigate. Left/right indicators are added to show that more content is available to the sides, and a secondary scrollbar is added at the top of the table, that remains at the top of the page as the table is scrolled downwards. This allows users to scroll left/right at any point, which is useful where tables are taller than their browser.
