chadb -> Table freeze question (5/8/2008 9:52:35)
Is it possible to freeze a table or cell. I have seen some posts about this, but havn't found anything that helps. I want the top part of my intranet site not to scroll, but I do not want to use frames. Is there a way to do this? Thanks Chad

I frequently put stuff in a div like so: <div style="height: 200px; overflow: scroll;"> Lots of stuff here. </div> Works most times for me; hope it does for you.

quote: <div style="height: 200px; overflow: scroll;"> Well that is close, but I need to bottom section to scroll while the top section does not.

I knew that was coming...[;)] What I do is to make 2 tables essentially; one having just the table header stuff above (and aligned with) the <div> and the second one inside the <div> having just the data. Did that make sense? Help any?

quote: <div style="height: 200px; overflow: scroll;"> Lots of stuff here. </div> OK, I am a bit confused, here is a sample that I tried, what am I doing wrong? <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <title>Lots of stuff here</title> </head> <body> <table border="1" width="100%" id="table1"> <tr> <td> <div style="height: 200px; overflow: scroll;"> Lots of stuff here. </div> </body> </td></td> </tr> </table> <table border="1" width="100%" id="table2" height="44"> <tr> <td> </tr> </table> </html>

You have your </body> tag inside your table. That should come right before your </html> tag. You also didn't close your <td>, and a couple other html errors. You may want to put the table inside the div, as opposed to the div inside the table.

OK, I changed to this, but still not working correctly. Maybe there is a way to sroll the bottom table? <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <title>Lots of stuff here</title> </head> <body> <div style="height: 200px; overflow: scroll;"> <table border="1" width="100%" id="table1"> <tr> <td> Lots of stuff here. </td></td> </tr> </table> </div> <table border="1" width="100%" id="table2" height="44"> <tr> <td> <p> </tr> </td> </table> </body> </html>

<table border="1" width="100%" id="table1"> 
<tr> 
<td>  
Table Head 1</td>
<td>  
Table Head 2</td>
</tr> 
</table> 

<div style="height: 200px; overflow: scroll;"> 

<table border="1" width="100%" id="table2">
<tr> 
<td>  
Table Cell 1a</td>
<td>  
Table Cell 1b</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>  
Table Cell 2a/td>
<td>  
Table Cell 2b</td>
<td>
</tr>
<tr>
Table Cell 3a</td>
<td>  
Table Cell 3b</td>
<td>  
</tr>
</table> 

</div>

That look any better?

What about position:fixed? Of course this will not work in versions of certain browsers which shall remain nameless...
