scroll/no scroll

vertical and horizontal scrolling with noscroll headers and noscroll rt col

[jenwen]

I have a table which scrolls vertically, but the headers stay put. Now the client wants to have a column on the right not scroll, but have the rest of the table scroll horizontally as well. I am having a lot of trouble figuring this out. I'm working in Cold Fusion, which is besides the point.. but people always ask.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you thought about making the column on the right a separate table in reality, one that bumps up against the scrolling table? I think you could style it to look as if it were all one table.

I was thinking about trying two div's... both with the entire recordset in a table, and hiding the elements on each side that I didn't need..maybe at the td level? Do you think that would work? I haven't worked with hidden elements in that manner before. Would it retain the cell height even though the cell wasn't visible?

I've never worked with it before either, but it sounds like it might work. But the whole thing begins to sound mind-bogglinly complex also.
