html - Bootstrap 3 table - table-responsive not working

Question

I'm using bootstrap 3 for a website project. I'm trying to create a page with a responsive table, so that I'd have the scrollbar when the table is too big. I made a test case like so:

<div class="row">
  <h4>Nuv?rende kurser</h4>
  <div class="col-12 col-sm-12 col-lg-12">
    <div class="table-responsive">
      <table class="table">
        <thead>
          <tr>
            <th>#</th>
            <th>Table heading</th>
            <th>Table heading</th>
            <th>Table heading</th>
            <th>Table heading</th>
            <th>Table heading</th>
            <th>Table heading</th>
          </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <tr>
            <td>1</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>2</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>3</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
            <td>Table cell</td>
          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>
    </div>
  </div><!-- end col-12 -->
</div><!-- end row -->

Now, the problem is that it doesn't add the scrollbar, it merely expands the website to the width of the table.

See a screenshot here:

I've seen it working on several other websites, so something I'm doing...is wrong.

Replace your table-responsive with this

<div class='table-responsive'> -> <div style="overflow-x:auto;">
