Re: Would you take a complimentary course on HTML from a company whose website looked like this?

Are the top two rows a "header" for the columns then? Or are you looking for an option that would basically build a grid with a header (or headers) row and *then* lock the top two "data" rows?

I admit that locking the first two columns while allowing the remaining columns to scroll would be tricky. jqGrid allows for multiple sub grids. I wonder if something that you are looking to do could be done using a sub-grid. You can dynamically reorder the grid columns in jqGrid, dragging and dropping them as well.

Or, maybe use two grids and sync the scrolling between the two. Admittedly it would be a cool feature to set one or more columns as "fixed" while being able to scroll both directions.

Have you considered using something like a grid? I use jqGrid and
have been very pleased with it.

We're looking at options. Thanks for the screen shots. As I mentioned earlier, having the first two (2) rows remain in fixed position while the rows underneath scroll vertically, and having the first two (2) columns remain in fixed position while the remaining columns scroll horizontally, seems to be the tricky part. The user would lose context if fixed rows or columns were to otherwise scroll out of view.

Another interesting requirement is that some students may be given "independent study" or "extra credit" assignments, unique to them. Scores for all other students would need to be blank and disabled - another dynamic behavior for grid cells, based on the type of data.
