Scrollable Table with Fixed Header

Non-Scrolling Header and Footer; Printing Repeated Headers and Footers

This frozen / locked HTML table header is a usability advance done without HTML fakery such as hidden tables, frames, or JavaScript. Tested in (Windows) Mozilla-spawned browsers (incl. Netscape 6+ and Firefox) and IE5+. IE has problems with the screen behavior of the footer—but thanks to a clever expression provided by Renato Cherullo, even IE6 can have a modern footer. Mozilla self-induces display problems cramming the scrollbar into the last column, which can be corrected with advanced selector syntax. Surprisingly, both render the printed version of the table consistently well, including the repeated headers and footers.
