RE: Table Column Headings

Hi:

How can you create a scrollable table? Frames of course where you have the
<th> in the top frame and the <td> in the bottom frame - it may also be
possible to use overflow: scroll but I don't know.

If frames have been developed, then there is a disassociation of the table
headers from the table data which means your tables have no headers. If you
are able to use overflow:scroll, then because it is a style issue, you can
keep the <th> and <td> together (in code anyway) but as I said, I don't know
if that is possible.

Now I understand why you are looking for an answer to your question.
