Re: [displaytag-user] Non Scrolling Headers

Rather than adding it to the displaytag core - maybe we can just document it? Not many folks ask for it - so this thread will hopefully be enough. If there's enough demand, we can formalize it.

Ahh sweet.. and I have js code in there that can resize the table to use full height of the client window/frame/iframe if needed... its just a scarily large amount of coding that would need to be done to displaytag to support this kinda thing :P -David

Actually, with Gecko, this whole problem doesn't exist because you can
set a height on the <tbody> and then set overflow: auto.  So all you
need is a solution that uses CSS for Gecko and JavaScript that detects
and makes changes for IE.

It doesn't work in Firefox. :(

Nevertheless, it's probably a good solution for those IE junkies out
there. ;-)

Oh I forgot to mention that demo html page also forces the data to
takeup the full height of the client window minus the headers, and
goes full width using css.

Here is a proof of concept of static headers that are aligned properly
in
IE6.. I assume this could be tweaked to work with other browsers as
well.
It would need some significant coding in displaytag to make work, you
would
need to split the headers into their own table, and surround the data
table
with a div, then give the ability to assign id's to the tables, table
header
cells, table data cells, and div. Then you would need to have your
own js
in the page, or include a js function with displaytag to work with
this.....

ps don't rip on my javascript, its almost the first time i've done
anything
with it so its super ugly ;p

Thats the example I was looking for yesterday and couldnt find..

might
wanna

link that off displaytag's webpage somewhere. The problem with this

though,

if you squish your IE window down so the emails and some of the other
columns are wrapping, then click on the javascript to put it into a

fixed

height div, the inside cells become a much different size than the

headers..

i wish beyond wishing there was some way to fix that... is it

possible to

nest a div inside a table tag?
like:
<table>
<tr>
<th></th>
<th></th>
</tr>
<div class="Scrollable">
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</div>
</table>

Here's how I've done it. You could try re-creating this example

with

fixed-width headers.

I seemed to remember reading a message about non scrolling

and the

data
into another. This COULD be solved by using fixed widths but

I'm not

keen
on that. What I'm wondering is it this would be possible:

Split the headers up into one table
Split the resulting data up into the second table, wrapped in a

div

with a
fixed height so it would enable vertical scrolling. And then

calling

a JS
function for onLoad and onResize that would grab the sizes of the
result
data's column width and update the headers widths to be the

same. I

don't
know jack about JS so thats basically what I'm wondering if its
possible..
the other stuff I know can be done.
