I agree with you, black ares, except for the fact that once you start using 
jQuery you suddenly realize how ridiculously easy it makes things, and you 
start thinking about many more ways that it can make your life better, and 
funky things you can do with it with very little effort.

For me, DOM manipulation with raw javascript vs jQuery is like coding in 
assembler vs C# or Python. Ok, not quite that bad <smile>, but it makes the 
point.

I would need a *VERY* good reason not to include jQuery in any web project I do.

  no, it is very easy to do it with raw javascript.
  And puting jquery in your soft to do only this thing, is like you employ Bill 
Gates to make a program which sums two numbers.

    Yes, you can do it with raw javascript, but jQuery will just make it so 
much easier.
    If javascript is a bicycle, then jQuery is a power bike - an analogy Jacob 
might appreciate. <smile>
    I don't *EVER* touch the HTML DOM  with raw javascript any more. I have 
better things to do with my time since jQuery came along.

      is not necessary jquery.
      With only javascript it is enough to do this.

        JQuery?

        I'm somewhat out of practice with this type of web development - 
obviously...<smile>

          Well, somebody mentioned a MX data grid which I have never used.
          But what you could do is to put the datagrid in a div with overflow 
set to auto.
          Then, with jQuery, it should be quite trivial to clone the header row 
and insert it in another div right above the data grid's div and hide the 
original header row.
          With a little fiddling that should give you the static headers you 
are aiming for.

            Don't think there are too many guys involved in/looking into 
ASP.Net on VI programming lists, but specifically, at the moment, trying to 
figure out how to implement static/unmoving column headers for an ASP.Net 
datagrid, with the specific issue being that since there are quite a few 
datarows being rendered in a datagrid, they want the column headers to stay 
static/floating above the then scrollable columns of data, and was just 
wondering if anyone had ideas off hand.

            My own would be to in fact implement a static HTML table above the 
datagrid, with the column headers in it, and then implement the datagrid in 
something like either an inline frame, or a normal frame to allow the browser 
to scroll up and down inside it, while still seeing the column headers above, 
but the primary issue so far is I don't seem to be able to query/find a 
rendition of the column widths etc. from the datagrid control, but have 
otherwise been thinking about in fact chucking out the datagrid control as 
such, and just something closer to older, classic ASP to in fact just render 
the HTML output version of something like this, and would then just base the 
column widths on something like a certain number of pixels/points per letter of 
the column name, and would then use something closer to the classic ASP/PHP 
outputting of the data table inside another frame or something.

            Thoughts/examples/suggestions?
