scrolling table with multiple row-select?

Hello,

I have a selectbox with 'multiple' enabled. It works fine.

My question is related to formatting the options. I want the options
to appear in three columns as though it were a scrolling table with no
borders - this is ONE selectbox where the text in the options APPEAR
in columns. I have been able to do this by using  s as padding
in each option to align the text and a monospace font to preserve the
spacing - BUT these fonts look awful (to me).

Does anyone know how to do this? I can live with the monospace font
but would prefer a more "normal" font so I need a different means of
aligning the text - as in a table.

Thanks,

Warren

I have what is now a table with a header row and then obviously rows of data beneath. If the data is more than 50 or 6 rows (100px) then the rows will scroll using overflow:auto. This all works great, but I have alignment issues with the columns. I can get things to line up in either case (with scrolling or without scrolling) but not in both. Currently, I am using Tables to align everything and giving each row a % width. I would love...

What I want to be able to do is to present a table (with 3 varying width columns) as a scrolling list of items. I can do this by placing the table within a div which has overflow-y set to scroll - however when the table is scrolled the table header row scrolls out of view. Is there a way to format this so that the header is outside of the scrollable area but still aligns with the (varying width) columns which contain the table data ?...

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.

Help! I have a table that multiple processes must be able to write to concurrently. However, it for some reason gets locked in exclusive mode.

Greetings, I am trying to create a table that has a scrolling body. The problem I'm experiencing is that if the columns in the "body" part of the table exceed the width of the "header" then they columns lose their alignment. Can anyone help me correct this?
