Locking Table Headers (like Excel)

[Giggle Girl]

Hello Javascript enthusiasts!

I need to lock a TABLE HEADER vertically, so when you scroll up/down,
the content moves but the header is always visible, like you can do in
Excel.

It is for an intranet app, and only has to work in IE6 (and future
releases).

I have a working example at:

http://c.1asphost.com/giggy/locked_h...in/default.htm

which relies on this CSS hack applied to the TH:
{
top:expression( document.getEle mentById("table _container_1"). scrollTop-0);
}

This example is seamless and solid -- and simple! -- but the problem is
it is too resource intensive on tables more than 100 rows or so... it
slows _EVERYTHING_ down on the page. Some of these tables are 1000
rows and more!

Anyone have any solutions that are less processor-expensive?

Thanks,
Ann

No.
Neither color is Web-safe.
The example set forth was to illustrate locking table rows, not colors.
This is not a Valid "comment declaration".

Clearly, that line is informational only.

Good stuff, Yukky!

I will plug this into some of the massive tables I am working with and
let you know how much better the performance hit is compared to what I
had!

And no jiggles!

Thanks,
