Click on one of the tag headings and the properties/attributes are in a table with scrolling... something kinda like you are describing. -----Original Message----- From: Frank Zammetti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 9:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [OT] thick client functionality in the browser I believe the scrolling table body functionality is only currently supported in Netscape 7 and Mozilla anyway. If I'm wrong, if you can show me an example that works in IE, I would name my next child after you :) I've been trying for a while to find a way to have a header section stay put, and there's of course the scripted "jump back to the top when the page scrolls" trick, but you have issues getting the proper column widths then. I know about putting a <thead> seciton in the table, but I think IE only honors that when printing, so that a multi-page table will have the headers on each page, but I don't think it matters to on-screen rendering. Am I wrong?
