Question

I have a table with many rows. As I scroll down the page to review each row I no longer see the header for each column. Is there a way to freeze the header as I scroll down the table?

Not easily. Workaround:

• List a header row every, say, 20 rows
• List the header in one topic and include another topic in an iframe. See IFrameExample. You need to specify absolute width for the table columns so that they line up properly

If IE had proper support for CSS standards, there is a very simple solution: see http://www.agavegroup.com/?p=31. Unfortunately, it doesn't and since it is still the most popular browser, you probably won't be able to ignore it.
