Hi all,

I have a flat text file database around 800 lines. If i want to read it i have to scroll down tofrom top to bottom (1- 800..) and then i will lose my table header 9 column. Can we do something so if we go down to any record ID > 60 i still see the table header.

Please help me.

Thanks,

I'm not sure what you mean...could explain a little more?

Hi Paul,

I try to explain in English but i hope you understand :=)
My question is How to scroll Table Body while keeping Table Header fixed, example

Table Header:
ID Name DOB Address Phone Country
1 A
2 B
3 C
4 D
......
800 William 04/01/1975 1600 Virgina 123-234-5678 USA

If i scroll down to record 60 i can not see the table header
ID Name DOB .....
How can i make it so no matter i go to record > 50 i can see the record header like

ID Name DOB Address Phone Country
60 Lois 12/24/63 123 3rd st 434-232-5454 USA
61 John ..........

I hope you can understand what i try to say... this is flat file databse and i write cgi so i can view record in html table.

Thanks,

if you are letting your users view it Via HTML, just make a frame on the top section of the page...with the header info in it...then in the bottom frame load your text file database CGI script and it should show fine...

I did that but the problem is when they print, and in cgi it keep expand the text in a field if people put a long text and the top header on the top frame can not expand with it..

How do i say...do you know what i mean

Thanks

I see what you mean...
but still I don't see the problem that you cannot use frames to solve it...it could be like

ID Name Phone Number <<< This stuff stays stationary (doesn't move)

1 Danny 485-4956 <<<

2 Jimmy 848-8845 <<<

. <<<This stuff moves

. <<<

. <<<

etc...

Is this what you mean?

what i mean is split your HTML into two frames a top and bottom one...the top is like 10% the bottom is * or (the remaining 90%) then the text field is there...or even if you can make it into tables like
in the top frame have this table
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>ID</TD><TD>Name</TD><TD>Phone</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

then in the bottom frame have this table
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>1</TD><TD>Paul</TD><TD>908-4434</TD>
<TD>2</TD><TD>Bill</TD><TD>777-8947</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

Using DHTML would be more sexy in my opinion. If you've got Mozilla check out it's demonstrations, or if you haven't - check out the attached DHTML fixed postitioning example file.

Alternatively, just reprint the header information every 25 rows or so.
