I am creating themed forms for many of the content types that I have. One is an expense report which is a large table. The table has seven column and about 15 rows. The problem is that only 5 of the 7 columns are visible the other two disappear to the right of the theme.

I am using a fixed width theme for the entire site because of many reasons.

My question is:

1. Can I add a slidebar across the content areas to allow users to move left and right on the table to enter the data they need?
2. Or can I disable the fixed width of the theme for this particular form and go fluid just for this content types form?
3. Or is there another solution I am missing?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Sounds like your best bet is to use a horizontal scrollbar to display the content that overflows the main content area. Do you have a link to your site with this issue in action? I can suggest some code that you will need to work with but it will require more customization.

#something {
  overflow: auto;
}

That should apply the scrollbar as needed to your div or table depending on what you apply it to.

That worked perfectly - thanks. I just wrapped the table in a div with the overflow property.
