How to make fixed position of column names on JSP/xml form

Question

Hi,
I use Oracle 9i, ver. 2. I create a browse form (JSP) where I can see the data from one large table through Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 6).
When I scroll the browse form I would like that names of
columns to be fixed on the form.
I trued with following tag but without success:
<h1 style="background-color:yellow;position:fixed;"> Column_names_1, Column_names2</h1>
I would appreciate any help on it.

Hi there
Hmm interesting.  You can try this below which seems to work by listeneing for the headerShift event and the mouse doen event.  Basically it records the original layout of the coloumns and then if the user try to put a column at position 0 then it resets them.  The others can moce around fine.  The ideal would be to prevent the default behaiviour of the headershift event but this is not cancelable.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"  >
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.events.IndexChangedEvent;
            import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
            import mx.rpc.events.HeaderEvent;
            private var originalColumns:Array;
            private function headerShiftHandler(event:IndexChangedEvent):void {
                // If new pos of the dragged column is going to be 0, then reset to original layout.
                if (event.newIndex == 0) {
                    dg.columns = originalColumns;       
            // Capture the original column layout.
            private function captureColumns():void {
                originalColumns = dg.columns;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:DataGrid id="dg" x="51" y="125" width="414" height="207" headerShift="headerShiftHandler(event)" mouseDown="captureColumns()">
        <mx:columns>
            <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 1" dataField="col1" resizable="false" draggable="false" />
            <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 2" dataField="col2"/>
            <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 3" dataField="col3"/>
        </mx:columns>
    </mx:DataGrid>
</mx:Application>
Hope this helps
