Scroll text as you scroll down a page

[Koya]

Hi,

I have a page in ASP that shows the contents of a table in a database. At the top of that page are the column names. Now, since there are many columns, it tends to be confusing to know which column is which when I scroll further down the page.

I would like to have the ability to see the column names at the top at all times. I have seen something similar to this done before but can't spot where.

Any help will do.

Thank you.

There are THEAD and TFOOT tags which do this but they are only supported by some browsers, IE the most popular doesn't.
Another option is to have a table for the captions and a table for the details
each contained in their own DIV tags. the second DIV tag which hold the table data can be set to scroll.

I've never done this but maybe you could build a js menu without actually including any events. You would have to be carefull about sizing for different resolutions but it should work. Have a look as http://javascript.internet.com - they might have something already
