Has HTML got a way to do anything remotely like a JTable yet? When I last checked (two weeks ago) there was still no reasonable HTML way to do a table with headers that stayed in place while the data scrolled. I found a few attempts at hacking it, but nothing good. Am I just looking in the wrong places? Add in the other functionality of Swing’s JTable or JavaFX’ TableView like showing/hiding columns, re-ordering columns, sorting, etc… (never mind not needing *all* the data to be present as <tr> elements) and you can see how I find that HTML is far behind in terms of basic UI abilities. I admit - I just don’t get why anyone would choose to use HTML for UI outside of a web app. Scott --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.incubator.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
