ASP table - column names

[arravalli12]

My ASP page displays a table (which has 7 columns) where it shows hundreds of records. The user has to scroll down to see records. Now user wants me to keep the column name row fixed so that he can scroll down and should be able to see all column names.
Is there any way to do this using scripts?

Why dont you considering paging your records.

Yah, paging or use a div with a fixed length and the overflow attribute specified to scroll.

I suggested them paging. Since pop up box will show max of 15 records per page and there are 5000 records. User does not want to click next. He wants to scroll down and has requested me to do this.
I do not want to use frames.I was just wondering if this is possible.
Thanks

Check out

http://www.activewidgets.com/

They offer a free download of their code that renders your recordset like a spreadsheet. The only problem I have had is that it takes time to load on the client. It's probably worth looking into at least.

Hope this helps.

Ah spreadsheet... you could just send your entire page as an Excel instead of regular HTML and then your users can do whatever spreadsheet tricks they want.

You know, so it looks like what happens when your drag-n-drop an .xls into internet explorer.

What about having a table with one row for the headings, and another table beneath it in a scrolling DIV?

Thanks for all suggestions. I appreciate. I am trying using scrolling DIV. I am having some formatting problem but playing around should take care of.
I also liked activewidget program. I have not tried that.
Thanks once again.
