scroll/noscroll
I have a table which scrolls vertically, but the headers stay put. Now
the client wants to have the three leftmost columns on the right not
scroll, but have the rest of the table scroll horizontally as well. I
am having a lot of trouble figuring this out.
I am using div=tablescroll and setting the table scroll/noscroll
parameters in css. I have used class=noscroll on the cols th and td`s
for the cols I don`t want to scroll, but it isn`t having any effect.
I`m working in Cold Fusion, which is besides the point.. but people
always ask. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you`re using a class and not an ID - classes can be used
multiple times in a page, ID`s can only be used once.

Aha! I didn`t know that! But, unfortunately, I am using classes.
Any other ideas? The only thought I have is way elaborate and I`d
like to avoid it (I`m not even sure it would work)...
That is to make 2 divs, one which scrolls and which which doesn`t..
side by side, and put both recordsets in both, making the data
elements I don`t want to appear on each side hidden. Do you think
that would work? I haven`t worked with hiding elements like that
before. The reason I think I would have to do it that way is to make
sure that each record line was the right height, as many of the fields
are variable length (such as memo fields or long text fields) and I
need to keep the two groups of data synchronized.
Oy.

Nice idea! I`ve been asked to do things like this before, and the record
height problem always stumped me. Just getting the column widths in line
when the headers don`t scroll has been bad enough - MSIE does *not* want
to obey orders about column widths!
I`m not sure what the browser would do about rendering the height of a
cell that isn`t visible, though. Would it still expand the height to
fit, or not? How were you thinking of "hiding" that section?

The how? Oh.. haven`t figured that out yet <grin>. I`ll let you know
how I did it if I can get it to work!

Checking... yes, the heights work nicely, don`t they?
for a laugh, try setting both tables to show a border and give the RH
one a BGCOLOR.
Looks like we`re not going to want to get flashy like that in the real
thing.

Actually, I am running into problems with display now. Serves me
right for being so cocky about it.
I do, on the actual report, use alternating background colors to
enhance readability. I am having issues with there being two
scrollbars now (and if I take one away, I think the rows will be off
at the bottom). I have background bleed through. I am having height
issues.
Why can`t clients ever want anything straightforward?
