[Zope] Scrolling Tables

[Tim Zegir]

So you have content you wish to scroll. 
It is in a table.
The problem you are having is that when you set up the scroller it
scrolls the whole table.

Sorry if some one has pointed this out already, but why can't you just
create your base table with you heading etc and in the field you want to
scroll content create another table (border="0" :) ) and scroll that???

Eg.
<table>
	<tr>
		<td>
			<span>heading</span>
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>
			<table> //Add all scrolling code to this table
				<tr>
					<td>
						Your scrolling content
goes hear
					</td>
				</tr>
			</table>
		</td>
	</tr>
</table>

Anyway hope I have been some help :-)
