I've been working on a financial reporting web site and thanks to the help of all the list members, it's coming along nicely. I was actually able to show the controller a prototype project that gives him access to his Income Statement for all organization levels in the company. Of course the first thing he asked was "Can you lock the header on the page so it doesn't scroll off the top?". Well, I don't know if that's even possible. I could do it using frames if I set the size of the table columns myself. That's not an optimal solution however. Having the columns auto-size is a pretty nice feature. Especially when you're dealing with so many different screen resolutions and font sizes. Not to mention different browsers. Does anyone know of a plug in that will allow table data to be displayed and scrolled but will still automatically size the columns and work with Zope? Joe Goldthwaite Property of Bar-S Foods.

To me that sounds like a pure HTML issue that has nothing to do with Zope. jens On Jan 6, 2004, at 21:57, Goldthwaite, Joe wrote:

You could hack this together using DHTML/JavaScript with frames. Use JavaScript to measure the columns as rendered and squeeze a matching header into a frame just above the table. Won't be trivial, but it should definitely be possible. HTH, Dylan

Not a zope question, but there is overflow:auto in css, which solved some similar problems for me. A good example of what it does is at http://dhtmlkitchen.com/experiment/overflow/test1.html -- Jim Washington

You might also be interested in http://devnull.tagsoup.com/fixed/horizontal.html Note: this is really what the fixed property is for. Too bad it is not supported in MSIE.
*Nice* one!
