I'm at a loss for what is wrong.

Used Embedresponively.com to embed a google doc into my site, but in only shows a small chunck at low breakpoints
www.ilala.org/index.html

If I don't use the site and put Width="100%" height="600"; to does not resize at the lower screen sizes
www.ilala.org/winter.html

I'm sure it's something dumb, but it's driving me crazy.

In the browsers which I used to check the ALA Department page, that small chunk at low breakpoints can be scrolled both across and down, so that all the table is accessible. I suspect that is the best that one can hope for with such a table.

One could recreate the table in RSD using Flexbox to make it fully responsive*. I think that the effort involved would not be worthwhile: with that amount of information in the table, a fully responsive table at low widths would, in my opinion, almost certainly re less readable than the scrolling one.

Thanks. Flex table won’t work in this case as the information may need frequent edits and I am the only one with access to the site files. I had hoped an embedded gologle doc would work, but I’m not having any luck.

As mentioned in my last post, the embedded document can be viewed as scrollable both vertically and horizontally at low breakpoints. I therefore suspect that the lack of success is to do with the editing of the contents of the table. That I think will need to be done outside of RSD, and the edited Google Doc reinserted in RSD and uploaded to the website.

Perhaps others know a better way of doing it, and will post their ideas here.

My devices are just showing a solid block without scroll bars.
