You could do that, yes, but if you clone the header row with jQuery you 
probably wouldn't have to. Unless your columns are being sized by the content 
of the data rows.

  Ok, that also makes sense.

  In other words, a javascript function would go and set the column widths for 
the header table to the same as the widths of the actual data displaying table 
columns?

    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?

          Stay well
