Ian, You say this can be done now (fixed columns), but I haven't been able to find a way. Can you elaborate on what the code should look like? I've only been able to get this to work for rows, as demonstrated in this test page: http://www.petesguide.com/WebStandards/tests/tables/HeadersFootersScrolling.html (Note: Only Mozilla actually adds the vertical scroll bar.) > > The CSS constructs "display: table-header-group" and "display: table-footer-group" ... > > > > Has the CSS WG considered an analogue to this property for table *columns*? > > In practice, though, it won't do what you are asking for. CSS doesn't actually > use the header and footer groups to control where the header and footer rows > repeat, only the order in which they appear in the flow. Repeating on a > continuous medium would be done using overflow:scroll on the body group that > they sandwich, and means that what you are asking for can already be done in > CSS2. Repeating of table rows (columns) on a paged medium is currently under- > defined in CSS2.
