[Javascript] overflow: auto

[David Lovering]

The method you suggest is certainly the easiest.  The other is to build a 2D
array in which each row represents a row in the table.
Using createElement and deleteElement commands you could then selectively
delete rows from the top/bottom and add rows on the opposite side to
simulate scrolling, based upon the presumption that only N rows would be
visible (in addition to the header).  The data fields would be loaded from
the appropriate array values.

This would only require one real table, but would be commensurately more
complicated.
