If you then float the thead (using position: relative for the class or style of the heading row), then the table heading remains stationary while the table rows under it scroll. Since this works on the html and css level, it works for any platform (php, .net, etc).

I grab snippets of code from all over the web all the time and seldom stop to thank the person who took the time to write about it. I really must get in the habit - it's a nice feeling knowing you've saved someone some time. Glad to have helped and thank you for letting me know.

I was going to be looking for how to do this in the not to distant future just in case I ever want to be able to over segments of code on my blog (for banners etc) without taking up too much space. Being able to use scrolling helps reduce the visual space used. Wow, that’s really helpful Damian.
