THEAD

Daisy

This is the first time I use this tag: <thead>, my code much like this:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td>FA</td>
<td>FB</td>
<td>FC</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>CA</td>
.........
........

</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>



But I find that the <thead> doesn't work. Actually, in my code, the table is
very long and is broken into two pages when printed, but I can't see the
table head in the second page. I am using IIS6.0 and windowse server 2003.
Does IIS6.0 and windowse server 2003 support <thead> ?
Thanks!!

This is the definition for THEAD:

Defines the table heading. Use THEAD to duplicate headings when breaking
tables across page boundaries, or for static headings when body sections are
rendered in a scrolling panel. The end tag is optional.

The table heading is optional; if given, only one heading is allowed. The
THEAD element is valid only within a table; you must use a TABLE element
before using this element.

Perhaps you should ask in the IIS newsgroups or Windows 2003 newsgroup about
support.

This is not a standard Frontpage tag.

To my knowledge, there are no visual browsers that support <thead> or
<tfoot> tags when printing, and a few get <tfoot> wrong on the screen. If
any of your users use early versions of Netscape, using <thead> may crash
their browsers.
It's not the server or FrontPage that has to support it - it's the browser.

The tag is partially supported, but not fully implemented (as the w3c intended)
- believe it need all 3 tags to work per
http://www.eskimo.com/~bloo/indexdot/html/tagpages/t/thead.htm
and printing is only NN supported

It's just a standard HTML tag Tom, nothing to do with IIS or Windows.
Unfortunately IE6 doesn't support it in the way the questioner wants,
although other browsers (eg firefox) do. If you have a long table with
<thead> defined when you print it in Firefox you'll get
Page 1
heading1 heading2
stuff stuff
etc

Page 2
heading1 heading2
stuff stuff
etc

In IE you'll get
Page 1
heading1 heading2
stuff stuff
etc

Page 2
stuff stuff
etc
