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

The desire for this behavior is - as y'all prolly know - from Excel, where you can have both rows and columns fixed.

Is it possible to scroll both vertically and horizontally at the same time in a browser? I did not think so. But I'd think there are trappable events for both.

Just my thoughts before Super Nachos at Taco John's

How can that work? I understand having the headers stay and the rest scroll, look up scrolling table in any search engine you'll find javascript that does it. I can also see doing it sideways, though i never looked for a prewritten way to do that, But i can 't see how they could get used together. The system would have to be smart enough to know what way your scrolling and only lock the part you want. If you lock the header and then scroll sideways the headings no longer match up.
I'm guessing you meant one way or the other not both at once. As I said there are some example to be found for scrolling up and down with fixed headers and/or footers on a web table.

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.
