You might put the _whole_ table into scrolling div. Divide the table to thead class=mainHeader/thead and tbody/t body sections (or any number of tbodys). Then, with javascript create another table, place it just before your table in the DOM. Copy the whole thead.mainHeader into the new table and copy all the widths and heingts, and styles of it. The table should be z-indexed +1 to the original table, and absolutly positioned, and the containing scrolling div should be relatively positioned. Then, observe the scroll event, and change the top style of your new table accordingly. Also observe resize events, and recopy the gathered widths and heights (or recopy whole header). This way, you have always visible table header, and no problems with scroll bars. This works great for me in firefox, on intranet. Can't post the source though, cause my contract forbids me :( We had many trys with your concept of scrolling tbody, but none worked well.

Have you tried using thead and tbody, and placing the overflow setting on the tbody?

The height is ignored also. In IE7, well. What a nice big cell you have there grandma. Seems like setting the height of tbody means IE thinks you are talking about the height of the cells. Oh. And no scroll bar. That is what I ran into with the few samples I've googled so far. Looks good in FF but IE looks terrible. Haven't tried other browsers. -- Warm Regards, Lee --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Prototype script.aculo.us group.
