Menu

First public version

Having had to design web applications that utilised large complicated tables used for input and assessing important data I found a need to find a way to make tables scroll while keeping headers, footers and row labels visible.

I originally did it with several separate tables but found it nearly impossible to make them line up pixel perfect because of the way differing browsers bend table cells to fit as they please.

So I wrote an improved method that uses clones of tables to precisely size areas that can be clipped to show exactly what was needed.

But it had a slight problem in versions of Firefox before 3.6 in that while working the U.I was lsuggish in scrolling. But Firefox has obviously improved in the relevant place and I updated my code to work as a jQuery plugin and have released it here.
