I need to display a large table on a web page and need to prevent the first column and first row from scrolling. I\'d like to dynamically set the vertical
If you don't like to use heavy loaded plugins you could do:
Create a table with only the fixed table header
Create a div with fixed width (remember the scrollbar width) and height and set scrolling Y direction. Within this div you place the body of the table.
Create the 3th and last table and place the table below the div to make it look like 1 big table.
<table> HEADER </table>
<div><table> BODY </table></div> (div is scrollable)
<table> Foot </table>
If you need to make changes dynamicly use bare javascript, you don't need to use jquery or other heavy plugin.
If you'd rather not go with a plugin, combine fixed header vertical scrolling (CSS)
tbody{display:block;overflow-y:auto;/*+fixed height set w/jQuery etc*/}
with the fixed first column horizontal scrolling (JS)
$('#table-container').scroll(function() {
var _left = $(this).scrollLeft();
$('#table th').css('left', _left); //"stick" the first column to viewport
});
#table-container{overflow-x:scroll;/*+fixed width set*/}
thead, tbody{display:block;}
th {position:relative;left:0;/*gets adjusted with JS above*/}
Fiddle'd here, this does not address resizing to fit browser dimensions though. Assuming it will be run in a dedicated window, it would be fairly trivial; if not and it's intended to be run in-page, it would be rather tough keeping it uncluttered.
Good luck.
You can use DataTables
DataTables
It's an amazing jquery plugin for tables, and it also has an interesting number of extras and plugins including fixed header and footer, column sorting, variable width, fixed width, ajax and lots more.
Edit 5: - Added configurable fixed Rows and Columns. - Fixed column width and height issues - Reduced usage of complex selectors
Usage:
$('#cTable').cTable({
width: 1300,
height: 500,
fCols: 2,
fRows: 2
});
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/rCuPf/7/embedded/result/ (updated demo)
Edit 4: Updated for colSpan on column 1. Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/skram/rKjk3/26/
Edit 3: Did some cleanup and some fixes: http://jsfiddle.net/rKjk3/22 Tested in IE9, FF and Chrome. (I don't have latest IE to test it now)
Edit 2: Fix for IE: http://jsfiddle.net/rKjk3/15/embedded/result/ (See latest above)
Edit 1: Fix for resize window http://jsfiddle.net/rKjk3/11/ (See latest above)
rightContainer
so the width of actual table will be increased as you resize.SBWrapper
so that it can fully utilize the available space inside the container.I have created 2 demo for your requirement.
Sample to show how the rendered html will look like with a simple markup structure. This will allow you to look at the structure that is being rendered and how it is working :)
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/GmJ22/7/
Actual demo with the markup that you have posted. The code is just a rough version and may require some cleanup. Right now you can configure the width and height of the table. I am posting it so that you can take a look and give me some feedback.
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/rKjk3/10/embedded/result/ (see below fixed versions)

You need to add a row of dummy column headers so that Datatables will cope with the colspans.
See it on jsfiddle.
Works with normal tables and it only alters the header cells, in place (no removing, copying, or outside of table element injection). This has the advantage to allow any content, in any cell, of any dimensions (+allows dynamic modification of that content).
See it in action: fullpage.html, overflow_scroll.html, fullpage_untouched.html.
Vertical and horizontal th
cells should remain visible and aligned while scrolling.
This solution does not use any frameworks. Feel free to replace existing helpers (scroll offsets) using jquery or prototype (or any other framework).
You should add code hooks to call _table_make_fixed_header_reposition
when making dynamic changes to the table's contents.
I didn't test this on Windows XP (where accelerated rendering is absent in all browsers).
The blue background, drop shadow, borders, etc. are just CSS cool stuff. You can make this however you want, and you just have to create a normal table (just add cell styles on .DivWrapper
instead of TH
).

</table>

<div id="padding_for_test"> </div>

It should be fairly easy to delete some CSS and make the fixed cells identical to scrollable cells. Also if you want a dedicated scrollbar, you could wrap this in a scrollable DIV
and adjust inside _table_make_fixed_header_reposition
by using the DIV
's scroll offsets too.
Edit: updated code to keep headers as close to edge as possible, when table goes outside the viewport (+option to choose between vertical or horizontal headers, or both).
Edit2: added scrollable div
support, and made this the default in the example.
