Hi everyone,
I currently display XML data with XSLT which works fine (including some dynamic filtering with JavaScript).
However, often the data which is returned is quite lengthy and, as the user scrolls down to look at the data, the header disappears off the top of the viewable portion of the browser. This is quite irritating as the header contains summing and title information which should remain in view.
So my question here is whether there is an easy way to freeze the header and make the data scrollable?
Of course the first thought that I had was to use 'frames' but I believe that this would either be impossible with XSLT or would make the coding significantly more complex. Am I right or is there an easy way to do this?
Any tips or links to HOWTOs would be a big help.
Many thanks,
Alan Searle

Many thanks for the link showing how to freeze the headers ...
eg http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/basics2.html
... and yes, this works fine (even incorported into an XSL file). I'm very pleased and many thanks for your help.
However, I am curious about one thing:
As it is, I will use the frozen head to hold my column headers and totals in place while the data is scrollable. This will mean that the user will see both the detail numbers and the totals at once which was not the case before.
Yes, that works fine but I am now having to fiddle around with declarations of absolute position in order to keep the headers above their respective columns. This works but is a bit tedious and could cause problems if one user needs to access the system from a computer with a smaller screen (i.e. the columns will not re-sized).
What would be even better than the frozen headers would be a scrollable grid or table where I can declare a table and then the system automatically makes that table scrollable (like a list box) while keeping the headers static.
Am I asking too much? Does such a thing exist?
Any tips would be gratefully received.
Regards and many thanks,
Alan Searle
I've been google on 'scrollable grid' and there seems to be a lot of discussion (noise) out there on this topic.
It seems that there are commercial solutions and a lot of ASP chat about this issue. However, I am working with XSLT & JavaScript and don't really want to get involved in testing 'add-ons' or writing lots of code.
If there is nothing that is more or less (HTML) standard, then I will probably stick with the frozen-header solution. That works well and looks good and so all I need to do is to fix the widths of the columns.
Many thanks,
Alan Searle

Hello,
I am having a problem where my computer is freezing when I run a ASP.net
project. It freezes in the debugger, or if I try to run it as localhost. I
cannot even access the windows Taskbar, or anything. I have to power off my
computer.
It is a brand new machine, XP Pro, VS.NET 2003.

Here's what I'm trying: given an html table, to freeze the column
headers and/or left column in IE. I understand that this is possible
thru style sheets in IE, as suggested in the following:

Most of my ideas seem usless or stupid, but I think expressing them
here doesn't harm much.
This is an idea for Py 3.0, because it's not backward compatible.
Dicts and sets require immutable keys, like tuples or frozensets, but
to me they look like a duplication. So the idea is to remove tuples and
frozensets (and replace the few other uses of tuples with lists, like
the % interpolation), and to add a freeze operation, to freeze lists,...

Hi,
We have a datagrid with column headers. If the datagrid has more than say
25 rows the user needs to scroll down to be able to see the rest of the grid.
When the user does this the column headers scrolls up off the screen and it
becomes hard for the user to determine what the columns are. Is there a way
to keep the columns headers in place (only for vertical scrolling) when the
user scrolls down.
Thanks,
John

Hi,
I have the following small program which read password from user after
echoing off. But the problem is, it is freezing for some time (not sure
about the duration) before going to the next statement and I have to
press "enter" multiple times (maximum 4, it is not consistent though).
I am trying it on a hp-ux machine with aCC compiler.
Any pointers/help would be greatly appreciated.

To anyone that can assist me: I deeply appreciate your help!!
I am developing an application with an outside vendor. The vendor has
a very odd requirement. They need custom X-Headers added to an email

they want to have a single X-Header containing multiple keys and
