applying style to <tbody>

i checked the archives of this group and found that, so far, no-one has
posted a working css solution to making a <tbody> block scrollable, using
the overflow property. the purpose is to create scrolling data under
fixed-position column headers aligned with the data columns.

actually, the best solution posted was as described above, but it was found
not to work in any known UA. i suspect it was an implementation problem and
not an error in the standard.

i wonder if anyone could follow-up, who has had success more recently, using
this technique; or if there's another working solution. TIA.

If the best solution did not work on any
known UA, what did the *worst* do, ..cause
leprosy?

The CSS in http://www.htmlhelp.com/test/tbody.html works just fine in the
(Mozilla-based) browsers that support it.

Worse! :-O

At least, with leprosy, the bad bits fall
off.. I've had pages with invalid HTML on the
net for 4 years or more, and not one bit of
the invalid mark-up has fallen off them, yet! :-(

It looks like there's a pretty serious CSS bug in IE6 (v6.0.2800.1106). The HTML below is validated STRICT HTML 4.01 and renders as I would expect in Opera, FrontPage, and Netscape. For some reason, there's an annoying vertical gap between adjacent rules that doesn't go away. This looks like IE6 is incorrectly setting the margin to some arbitrary value. Does anyone know if this is a known bug at MS? If you know of one, post the...

I have had great success with using <iframe> with overflow-y set to auto. I can get a similar look with the <iframe> tag. BUT... In all cases I need to have fixed heights. Is there a way to put either tag inside an HTML <TD> and have the same kind of scrolling effect. This would allow me to fill the screen and have the size of the scrolling box change on resize. Thanks in advance.

The only browser I have encountered that supports <colgroup><col class="behold"></colgroup> to apply a CSS style to a whole column, is Microsoft Internet Explorer. I have been told it SHOULD NOT do so, since this is not part of the specification. How then to you apply styles to entire columns? Surely you don't have to write <td class="behold"on every row item.
