Im looking for actual implementation methods of a table with fixed header
elements and a scrolling body. I would like to see how it works & evaluate
the current support of these methods in the current browsers.
I recently received a request from a client who saw this behavior on the
windows update installation history page. [a screenshot of the
ehavior: ] Microsoft developers seem to have found a unique way of keeping
me from seeing their source code - ive tried all the tricks i know :( I
actually wonder if what im seeing on the page is actually markup or
vbscript or something else.
Ive read James Aylards post: re: <thead> vs. <th>? (
http://lists.evolt.org/archive/Week-of-Mon-20020408/109168.html ) and the w3
recommendation ( http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html ) that
essentially leaves it up to the browser to define the scrolling behavior if
any at all. I havent come to any resources that show how to do this.
The application is a intranet/browser-based application that requires IE
5.5+. I imagine this functionality is still relatively new and not being
widely used.
Can anyone help me with this?
thanks.
