I think that Microsoft Excel is the most known modern example of this. I've made couple of attempts to implements such <table>s and can say that configuration like: <table fixedcols=1 fixedrows=1 style="overflow:auto">..</table> is the least controversial from any other solutions I tried. But not perfect of course. Here is how such tables may look like: http://www.terrainformatica.com/htmlayout/images/grid1.jpg It appears as number of fixed rows/columns defined for the table is significantly more robust as a solution rather than defining fixed position for each cell. -- Andrew Fedoniouk. http://terrainformatica.com
