I believe the scrolling table body functionality is only currently supported
in Netscape 7 and Mozilla anyway. If I'm wrong, if you can show me an
example that works in IE, I would name my next child after you :) I've been
trying for a while to find a way to have a header section stay put, and
there's of course the scripted "jump back to the top when the page scrolls"
trick, but you have issues getting the proper column widths then. I know
about putting a <thead> seciton in the table, but I think IE only honors
that when printing, so that a multi-page table will have the headers on each
page, but I don't think it matters to on-screen rendering. Am I wrong?

You know what I discovered about a month ago? Instead of using iFrames,
you can get the same functionality with a <span> with
style="overflow:scroll;".
The problem with this, though, is when you when you want your table to be
able to change in width. If you have a fixed width it's fine, but if it's
going to fluctuate and you have select boxes in your table.. when you
scroll up they have a higher z-index than the header row and it bleeds
though.. very ugly and annoying. To get around this you have to do crazy
javascript/css tricks to determine when the row scrolls up into the header
row and then make the select box display none (then you have to remember to
make it visible again).. such a pain. If you used a fixed with table you
can get around this by making two tables with the same column widths.. one
table just to hold the column headers and then the next table scrollable as
you mention.
PS- if anyone has some javascript/dhtml code already written that will do
the hiding of select boxes as it scrolls into the header row let me know-
I'd like to steal, I mean look at it.
