[jQuery] Re: How can I freeze the title row in a table?
I remember seeing a plugin that did this, can't remember what it was called though. Basically, what that plugin did. was if it detected the thead scroll out of view, it would place a copy of it in the DOM in it's own div, set to position:fixed. This way you emulate the table scrolling down, but the titles staying in place.

I don't think you can, unless there's a way of using position:fixed on table rows (but it would really surprise me if that worked, especially crossbrowser). If the width of the columns is fixed, you could also use 2 tables. One with the top row and position:fixed, and the other with the real data. Or you'd have to somehow construct a faux table with divs and stuff, but I doubt that's worth the trouble. Jonathan -- Jonathan Vanherpe - Tallieu Tallieu NV - jonat...@tnt.be

There are hacks but none that work well cross-browser without additional hacks. Some plugins use the two table solution, some don't use tables at all and replace them with divs. Have you considered using pagination instead of a fixed thead hack? aquaone On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 07:53, Matt Wilson m...@tplus1.com wrote: I have a table with lots of rows, and when I scroll down, I can't see the row with the column titles.

How can I freeze that row in place so I can still see it as I scroll down? There isn't a good solution that will work across all browsers, IMO. Since I only needed a solution for this in IE, I created this, which has frozen footers and columns, too: http://www.javascripttoolbox.com/lib/scrollingdatagrid/ and another approach, which works well for long tables on a page that you don't want to have inside a scrolling window: http://www.javascripttoolbox.com/lib/floatingheader/ Hope that helps, Matt Kruse

Drupal has a standard script to do this, see http://drupal.org/project/issues/date?status=All for instance. You might be able to pick apart the source code to adapt it to your needs.
