This is a common requirement - "freeze panes" in a table, so that some
header rows and some columns on the left are frozen while the body content
scrolls. This makes large tables more usable on screen.
Looking for a way to freeze the header row and the leftmost column of a table that is too big for a browser window. :confused: Any ideas or sample sites?
I am trying to get a scrollable table working. The table is placed inside a div and the ros are placed within the tbody. Can anyone suggest me a way to adjust the height of the scrollable table container with respect to the last row in the table? I am new to this scrollable table.
I'm trying to make my body content scroll at the same time as an iframe located within the body. This has to do with the age old problem of mouse focus on iframes. When my mouse reaches the iframe and it takes over focus, I would like the body to keep scrolling until the iframe is right at the top of the screen. After that I want to relinquish focus to the iframe. I don't mind if the iframe starts scrolling as soon as the mouse reaches it, so long as the main body keeps scrolling for a while.
I'm trying to create a table that has a fixed header but the table contents can be scrolled and also sorted by column headings.I'm already using sortable.js (http://www.surfmind.com/musings/2003/12/01/) library to sort the columns.I can find examples where I can scroll the table with fixed headers, but most of these use a dual table approach, with sortable.js, I think only one table is required. I've found examples how to scroll within a table element using autoflow and scrolling using CSS that I can't follow (I'm new to all of this).How can I get the contents to flow with a single table? Forgive me if it's too easy. If you can help me with a solution, you can ridicule me 'til the cows come home...I'm ok with that. Here is the basic table I have layed out.
The scenario is, a scrollable DIV on a webpage. Within the DIV is a scrollable textarea. Beside the DIV is a button whose onclick event creates and places another scrollable textarea below the first. Any subsequent onclick events places another scrollable textarea below the previous. I'm fairly sure that CSS will come into play for positioning of additional textarea's. My thinking is to create an array for the first textarea ID, then increase the array by 1 on any subsequent onclick event, then assign contents (values) of textarea(s) to ID's using innerHTML. Is this approach plausable, or is there a simpler method to this madness? Is there a method/function for calculating the height (px)of a textarea with overflow set to auto, regardless of text length within.
While I am new to javascript, I've programmed in a dozen other languages for decades, and now have been working in javascript intensively for several weeks. My first comment -- which has nothing to do with this problen -- is on how its richness makes it so difficult to provide adequate reference material. After working only with what I could discover through Google searches and actually writing some nifty fast incremental select element populating code -- what I found on the Web, which has been cited in many locations, is ugly code and sloooow when search a list of, say, 2000 possible entries for inclusion in the box -- just with those hints.
I finally broke down, bought what the reveiws say are the two most complete books -- Javascript Bible and Dynamic HTML, The Definitive Reference (both by Goodman), and am aghast: With the "Bonus Chapters" in the former, they total more than 3,000 pages! And with their in-depth indexes, it's still very difficult to find what one needs. (The HTML and CSS speification publications add another 400 pages . . ..) As a truly elementary example: I wanted to return from a function as a result of a test, not by running it out: The "return" is not indexed, nor are any of the words that might lead one to it. In fact, it is shown in some examples about 980 pages into the book, but nowhere is it actually documented. Yes, I know, every language has a "return" statement, but its usage and syntax varies -- and on some occasions, it's actually called something else.
So, to my current issue. For reasons that are valid -- please don't ask, "Why do you want to do that?" -- I need to hide the page in its entirety until the onload script has altered it based on certain criteria. After doing a lot of brute force stuff -- setting font color to "white", etc., etc. -- I discovered that one can put the attribute style="visibility:hidden" directly in the <body> tag -- which itself is not easily discovered. But: Tables in the body that have a non-zero "border" attribute still show -- just the borders!
Yes, I know I need to learn CSS as well; give me a break, guys! I do have that spec as an HTML doc, and it was there I finally found this out. You know, you can't look such things up by concept in the indexes of either book, or the HTML spec, or the CSS book, unless you already know the term that implements it; if I know the term, I don't need to look it up! In any case, try looking up "hidden" in either book; you get no hint that it can be applied via style to any element. If you know it's available as a style attribute, then know the attribute is "visibility", why than you can find it . . . and by that time, you must know enough that you don't need to find it. (Again, a Google Groups search on words associated with the concept told me what terms to use, and then I didn't need to use the book . . .)
I apologize for the rant (Fortran was good enough for my grandfather, it was good enough for my father, and it's good enough for me -- bah, humbug!), but it's been a very frustrating couple of weeks.
The real question: What about them table borders? So far, I'm defining their values as zero, then setting them to their final values at the same point that I make the body visible. Should I need to do all that? What should make that unnecessary?
I have a simple html table, which I'm trying to remove the rows from in the table body using jquery. The table structure is as follows: <table id = "table_of_items"> <thead><tr> <td> some title </td> <td> some title 2</td> </td></thead> <tbody><tr> <td> some content 1 </td> <td> some content 2 </td> </tr></tbody></table>
I've tried the following but it doesn't seem to work... $("#table_of_items tbody tr").remove();
I really like the following code example from Scott Robbin, allowing me to slide pages in and out of the screen, however I wanted to slide in some DHTML from here:[URl].. ...but, at best, only the images show. Well they don't, I've even tried hard linking to them. I know the links are valid because opening the page on its own they all show up, so there's an incompatibility somewhere.
I have a div tag element and a hide/show button above it. I'm able to handle the hide show of the contents all right via the button, but I want the div to be hidden when someone clicks anywhere else in the document, save inside the div area itself.This functionality is similar to what you see on the sign on panel in twitter.com. Press the sign in, the div sign in panel displays. Press the sign in link OR anywhere else on the document outside the panel. The panel is hidden.What's the best way to script this functionality in jquery?
Have been playing around with the UI. What i have spent all day trying to figure out is how to add a button or tab to toggle between the panes which would stick into the middle pane.
This is my sample...[url]

I am trying to implement the "Freeze pane" feature in javascript as it is in excel. I am almost there but am not able to get one last thing. The row header freezing is achieved first column freezing is also achieved. However, the top left column cell (which is supposed to stay frozed during both horizontal and vertical scroll) is not frozen.
I am an asp.net developer and I wanted to display user popup (kind of) which freezes the screen so that user won't click anything else on the screen. There are some predefined controls in asp.net, but I wanted do this using Javascript.
I need to present information in a horizontal format so that someone can look across a page and identify an objective with an activity just like an Excel spreadsheet (but it needs to be database enabled)
It would be useful to be able to 'freeze' the objective column and scroll the other columns horizontally. However I am not sure how to do this. Should I use JS, CSS or iframes. Can anyone suggest how this is done?
