[Javascript] stationary buttons

[Mike Dougherty]

Do you have an example of this?  I'm curious to see how you deal with
search results wider or longer than one page.  I'm currently using a css
formatted span that allows scrolling, but the table headers disappear if
there are many rows - and the rowID's disappear when you scroll right.
Admittedly, I've seen examples to deal with the row headers by trapping
the scroll and updating the headers, but it was beyond my patience to
generalize for an unknown number of columns (the examples assume the
structure, which can't be done with a dynamic query)

It sounds like you are keeping the "KISS" mantra in mind, so if you have
a publicly available example of your page, I'd like to see how you're
dealing with this somewhat complex issue.

I agree that those ads can be really annoying. However I am creating
this for a form in an iframe for an intranet page. The form will include
a large number of records selected from a database which will require
significant scrolling as the records are sorted and then sent to a word
document. The buttons that will consistently remain available as the
user scrolls down what could he 50-60 search results (and assigns their
sorting order) will in fact provide the cleanest and most efficient page
for what it is meant to do. With the graphic buttons we will be
creating, I think it will be attractive as well. Believe me, if I could
have thought of a better way (I even thought about godawful frames) I
would have gone with it. thanks for the feedback though.

keeping it simple, eh?
