Table with fixed header and scroll bar

Was able to use Dreamweaver 2004 to set up a table to display
data from a MySQL table. But then the customer wanted to have a
scroll bar on one side and fixed headers at the top "like Excel",
because the number of rows retrieved were too long to fit on a
page. This was harder than I thought. I had to use CSS and
Javascript with a lot of help to make this happen. Then it didn't
work in IE7, so I had to use a different approach for IE. I got it
to almost work perfectly in IE7. It just has a tiny bit of the
table visible scrolling by above the header rows.
http://www.ykfp.org/php/lyletrap/tabletotalscss13.php
Why does Microsoft make this so difficult? Why aren't web standards
good enough for Microsoft? Is there a better approach to tables
with scroll bars?

When things go sour in any browser, validate your code. I see you have some unclosed <table> tags which could effect page rendering.
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ykfp.org%2Fphp%2Flyletrap%2Ft abletotalscss09.php
If you still have problems with IE8 after fixing the code errors, try adding this meta tag to your <head>. It forces IE8 into IE7 mode.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7">
Hope that helps,

Scrollable table with fixed header (tutorial? also IE9)

Hi,
Does someone know of a tutorial about scrollable tables with a fixed header. Is there one on the adobe site. I found some on the net, but those didn't work for IE9. I favour the simple solutions.
I tried one, using only a few lines of CSS and the use of the thead and tbody tags in the table, but it didn't work on IE9.
Here is an example, of what I ment:
http://rcswebsolutions.wordpress.com/2007/01/02/scrolling-html-table-with-fixed-header/
I thank those, who red this.

Thanks, that is a very cool way to divide a layout of a web-page!
Can I also use this to split up a header and table body region inside a large table you want to present compact inside a webpage?
html:
<body>
<table>
     <thead>
          <th>
          </th>
     </thead>
     <tbody>
          <td>
          </td>
     </tbody>
</table>
</body>

Table with fixed header

Hi Guys,
Any idea how to create a table with fixed header. I know I have the option to use pagination controls. But our requirement is such that we can't have pagination controls but scrolling only.
I also have an idea that I need to set some CSS style for table header. But where to set that in JSCreator datatable or table component.
Please help me as it is my urgent requirement.
Thanks !

Data Table Fixed rows and Scroll Bar

Hi
I have data table which displays the data dynamically, but when there is no data , the table is shrinking and moving the other elements of the page. Is there any way i can keep to fixed number of rows irrespective of data presence?
Like i need to display only 10 rows at a time, if there are 7 rows in DB, i have t o display 7 rows containing data and rest as blank .
If my data increases more than 10 rows how can i enable Scroll Bar Automatically on this?
Thanks in advance.

Then add empty row objects to the collection or datamodel which is been passed to the datatable value.

Scrollable table with fixed column headings problem

Dear list members,
A while ago I asked on this forum for a way to code a
scrollable table with fixed headings and I was kindly given the
HTML and CSS code to do that. Using the method I was given I coded
the following simple test case. It works under IE but under
Netscape the column headings scroll up instead of remaining fixed.
The code works fine in IE. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong
or if there is a workaround.
Thanks,
Harry

The method you were given will only work in IE because only
IE understands
"expression" in CSS rules.
I'm afraid things are going to be a little more complicated
for you, but
it's not impossible.
Give this method a shot:

Download internal table data into excel sheet with column heading and data

Hi,
I am having one internal table with column headings and other table with data.
i want to download the data with these tables into an excel sheet.
It should ask the user for file name to save it on their own name. They should give the file name in runtime and it should be downloaded into an excel sheet.
Can anyone tell what is the right function module for downloading these two internal table data with column heading and data.
what we have to do for storing the file name in runtime.
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks,
Rose.

How to fix double vertical scroll bar in responsive output

After implementing the solution provided for the question 'Responsive HTML5 Output: How to auto adjust the screen resolution for all devices?', the function bar in output does not appear and also another vertical scroll bar in the output. I edited the max-width value in the layoutfix.min.css file and fixed the function bar issue. How can I do away with the additional vertical scroll bar?

I've looked into the issue.
@Delennish: In your case, the size of the iframe is too large, or you have an extra empty element below the iframe. You can try 2 things:
1. Best solution but may have side effects: In the main.css, add the following code:
div.contentholder { overflow: hidden !important;}
For this option, please check for undesired side effects.
2. Works, but is ugly: In the main.css, add the following code:
div.floatholder iframe.wTopic { height: 95% !important;}
Try playing with the height setting until the 2nd scrollbar disappears.
@CarolW: The layout you're using is very old. I've made a new responsive layout with TOC only. Please use that one instead: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/sites/default/files/attachments/Theme1_Standard_TOC_Only.zip (I'll update my site with this new version later.)

JTable can't display column names and scroll bar in JDialog !!

Dear All ,
My flow of program is JFrame call JDialog.
dialogCopy = new dialogCopyBay(frame, "Bay Name Define", true, Integer.parseInt(txtSourceBay.getText()) ,proVsl ,300 ,300);

Table with two header rows

Hello, i have a table in that table i have a header row which has another table with two header rows
When form spans more then one page on page2 the color and border are showing up outside of table see example below.
Anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?
I am using Livecycle designer ES2 9.***
THanks

Hi,
If the table spans to Next page then if you want to move whole table to other page then uncheck the allow page breaks with content option which is under Object Tab.

Internal table with out header line

Hi friends,
Can u send me code for internal table with out header line : how to declare ,how to populate data and how to access the data
Regards,
vijay

Hi Vijay
There are several ways to declare an internal table without header line:
A) You can define a type table
TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_ITAB OCCURS 0,
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE ZTABLE.
TYPES: END   OF TY_ITAB.
and then your intrnal table:
DATA: ITAB TYPE TY_ITAB.
B) DATA: ITAB TYPE/LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF ZTABLE.
C) DATA: ITAB TYPE/LIKE ZTABLE OCCURS 0.
All these ways create a STANDARD TABLE
You can create other types of internal table, for example SORTED TABLE or HASHED TABLE.
These kinds of table can allow to improve the performance because they use different rules to read the data.
When it wants to manage a table without header line, it need a work area, it has to have the same structure of table.
DATA: WA LIKE ZTABLE.
DATA: T_ZTABLE LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF ZTABLE.
A) To insert the record:
If you use INTO TABLE option you don't need workarea
SELECT * FROM ZTABLE INTO TABLE T_ZTABLE
                                  WHERE FIELD1 = 'Z001'
                                    AND FIELD2 = '2006'.
but if you want to append a single record:
SELECT * FROM ZTABLE INTO wa WHERE FIELD1 = 'Z001'
                               AND FIELD2 = '2006'.
APPEND WA TO T_ZTABLE.
ENDSELECT.
Now you need workarea.
B) To read data: you need always a workarea:
LOOP AT T_ZTABLE INTO WA WHERE ....
WRITE: / WA-FIELD1, WA-FIELD2, WA-FIELD3.
ENDLOOP.
or
READ T_ZTABLE INTO WA WITH KEY FIELD3 = '0000000001'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
WRITE: / WA-FIELD1, WA-FIELD2, WA-FIELD3.
ENDIF.
Anyway if you want to know only if a record exists, you can use the TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS option, in this case it doesn't need a workarea.
READ T_ZTABLE WITH KEY FIELD3 = '0000000001'
                                  TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
WRITE 'OK'.
ENDIF.
C) To update the data: it always needs a workarea
LOOP AT T_ZTABLE INTO WA WHERE FIELD3 = '0000000001'.
WA-FIELD3 = '0000000002'.
MODIF T_ZTABLE FROM WA.
ENDLOOP.
or
READ T_ZTABLE INTO WA WITH KEY FIELD3 = '0000000001'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
WA-FIELD3 = '0000000002'.
MODIF T_ZTABLE FROM WA INDEX SY-TABIX
ENDIF.
AT the end you can use the internal table to update database:
MODIFY/UPDATE/INSERT ZTABLE FROM T_ZTABLE.
See Help online for key words DATA, you can find out more details.

How to print jTable with custom header and footer....

Hello all,
I'm trying to print a jTable with custom header and footer.But
jTable1.print(PrintMode,headerFormat,footerFormat,showPrintDialog,attr,interactive)
does not allow multi line header and footer. I read in a chat that we can make custom header and footer and wrap the printable with that of the jTable. How can we do that..
Here's the instruction on the chat...
Shannon Hickey: While the default Header and Footer support in the JTable printing won't do exactly what you're looking for, there is a straight-forward approach. You can turn off the default header/footer and then wrap JTable's printable inside another Printable. This wrapper printable would then render your custom data, and then adjust the size given to the wrapped printable
But how can i wrap the jTable's Printable with the custom header and footer.
Thanks in advance,

I also once hoped for an easy way to modify a table's header and footer, but found no way.
Yet it is possible.

Problem creating a table with a subquery and a dblink

Hello!!
I have a little problem. When I create a table with a subquery and a dblink, for example:
CREATE TABLE EXAMPLE2 AS SELECT * FROM EXAMPLE1@DBLINK
the table definition is changed. Fields with a type of CHAR or VARCHAR2 are created with a size three times bigger than the original table in the remote database. Field of type DATE and NUMBER are not changed. For example if the original table, in the database 1, has a field of type CHAR(1) it is create in the local database with a type of CHAR(3), and a VARCHAR2(5) field is created with VARCHAR2(15).
Database 1 has a WE8DEC character set.
Database 2 has a AL32UTF8 character set.
Could it be related to the difference in character sets?
What can I do to make Oracle use the same table definition when creating a table in this way?
Thanks!!

That is related to character sets, and probably necessary if you want all the data in the remote table to be able to fit in the new table.
When you declare a column VARCHAR2(5), by default, you're allocating 5 bytes of storage. In a single-byte character set, which I believe WE8DEC is, that also happens to equate to 5 characters. In a multi-byte character set like AL32UTF8, though, 1 character may require up to 3 bytes of storage, so you'd need to allocate 15 bytes to store that data. That's what's going on here.
You could still store all the data if you create the table locally by explicitly requesting 5 characters of storage by declaring the column VARCHAR2(5 CHAR). You could also set the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS parameter to CHAR rather than BYTE before creating the table, but I believe that both of these will only apply when you're explicitly defining columns as part of your CREATE TABLE. I don't believe either will apply to CTAS statements.
