Float a Header Row

[Carol Hooton]

Using FP 2003. I have a lengthy table. I would like to be able to "float"
the header row so it is visible for the entire table. The page can be
viewed here:

Thanks.

Right now you are specifying a width: <table class="MsoNormalTable"
border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" style="border: 1.0pt
solid windowtext; margin-left: 7.1pt; margin-right: 7.1pt" width="1300">
(1300 pixels). So if the user views it on anything less, there will be a
scroll bar .

You could consider using 100%, if the all the information would fit
properly, but it depends on what resolution. For example, I have 1920X1200,
but I don't view websites in a maximized browser. (But I also am viewing
enough where I do not see the horizontal scroll bar.)

Thanks Corey, but I guess I wasn't clear in my original question. I would
like the first row (Header) to remain stationary at the top while the user
scrolls down the remainder of the table.

You mean like locking cells in an Excel Spreadsheet. One way to do this
would be to use frames. The header would be in the top frame (locked) and
the rest in the bottom frame.

frames would be the easiest way but then using two different windows for this
might be problematic.

You culd use CSS to lock the cells / JavaScript- check out
