Debra Fiorrito from the Defense Financial Accounting Service and her developer, Todd Posius, have implemented the code on the DFAS.mil site.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFioritto, the program manager for \u003ca href=\"http://www.dfas.mil/\"\u003eDFAS.mil\u003c/a\u003e said in an interview, that one of the DFAS challenges has been “dealing with tables as a thorn in their side.” Approximately 5% of DFAS.mil pages have tables “with not a lot of consistency, and on mobile the tables just extended off the page.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFioritto was excited to see Koroma had \u003ca href=\"/preview/gsa/digitalgov.gov/bc-archive-content-3/2014/10/30/hhs-conquers-tables-in-a-responsive-design/\"\u003eposted the article with the code\u003c/a\u003e on DigitalGov. Fioritto showed HHS’ code to Posius who reviewed it, then added the 3-4 lines of code to the DFAS CMS templates, and “now all of the tables scroll wonderfully.” He wasn’t able to really test the code until it was published, but he said it was “really pretty easy.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFioritto and Posius couldn’t be happier with how this process turned out. “We bow down to HHS and thank them for all the hard work they did,” Fiorrito mused.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe code is a boon for agencies who are developing mobile tables, but the HHS code is not the only code available for agencies to share.
