Hi there,

I managed to create a table with a fixed THEAD and a scrollable TBODY. Only problem is that the text of the TBODY is partly visible in the THEAD when scrolling.

Anybody a idea how to fix this?

To do so I created 2 classes, one for the container and one for the THEAD.

div.tableContainer {
clear: both;
border: 1px solid #963;
height: 100px;
overflow: auto;
width: 760px;
}

thead.fixedHeader tr {
position: relative
}

thead.fixedHeader th {
background: #ffffff;
padding: 4px 3px;
text-align: left
}

From what you've given us, it is really difficult to say anything. Do you have an URL with the example or at least the complete html&css for the example? Plus, could you tell us which browser you're seeing the problem in?

I'm using IE 6.0
Here's the code:

<html>
...
<div id="tableContainer" class="tableContainer">
<table border="1"> <!-- table for correct scrolling -->
<thead class="fixedHeader">
<tr> <!-- heading of result table -->
<th style="width: 33px"><p>&nbsp;</p></th>
<th style="width: 135px"><p>Header 1</p></th>
<th style="width: 100px"><p>Header 2</p></th>
<th style="width: 135px"><p>Header 3</p></th>
<th style="width: 135px"><p>Header 4</p></th>
</tr> <!-- end heading of result table -->
</thead>
<tbody class="scrollContent">
<tr> <!-- contents of results table -->
<td style="width: 33px"><p><input type="checkbox"/></p></td>
<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 1</p></td>
<td style="width: 100px"><p>content 2</p></td>
<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 3</p></td>
<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 4</p></td>
</tr> <!-- end contents of results table -->
<%}}%>
</tbody>
</table> <!-- end table for correct scrolling -->
</div>
...
</html>

The complete css would be to much I would say. I hope the code sent in my original post will do.

Well - something is not right. I've combined the HTML you've given us with the CSS you've given us, added body tags, and removed the server-side closing braces to create this:

Code: 
<html>
<head>
	<style type="text/css">
		div.tableContainer {
			clear: both;
			border: 1px solid #963;
			height: 100px;
			overflow: auto;
			width: 760px;
		}

		thead.fixedHeader tr {
			position: relative
		}

		thead.fixedHeader th {
			background: #ffffff;
			padding: 4px 3px;
			text-align: left
		}
	</style>
</head>

<body>
	<div id="tableContainer" class="tableContainer">
		<table border="1"> <!-- table for correct scrolling -->
			<thead class="fixedHeader">
				<tr> <!-- heading of result table -->
					<th style="width: 33px"><p>&nbsp;</p></th>
					<th style="width: 135px"><p>Header 1</p></th>
					<th style="width: 100px"><p>Header 2</p></th>
					<th style="width: 135px"><p>Header 3</p></th>
					<th style="width: 135px"><p>Header 4</p></th>
				</tr> <!-- end heading of result table -->
			</thead>
			<tbody class="scrollContent">
				<tr> <!-- contents of results table -->
					<td style="width: 33px"><p><input type="checkbox"/></p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 1</p></td>
					<td style="width: 100px"><p>content 2</p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 3</p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 4</p></td>
				</tr> <!-- end contents of results table -->
				<tr> <!-- contents of results table -->
					<td style="width: 33px"><p><input type="checkbox"/></p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 1</p></td>
					<td style="width: 100px"><p>content 2</p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 3</p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 4</p></td>
				</tr> <!-- end contents of results table -->
				<tr> <!-- contents of results table -->
					<td style="width: 33px"><p><input type="checkbox"/></p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 1</p></td>
					<td style="width: 100px"><p>content 2</p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 3</p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 4</p></td>
				</tr> <!-- end contents of results table -->
				<tr> <!-- contents of results table -->
					<td style="width: 33px"><p><input type="checkbox"/></p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 1</p></td>
					<td style="width: 100px"><p>content 2</p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 3</p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 4</p></td>
				</tr> <!-- end contents of results table -->
				<tr> <!-- contents of results table -->
					<td style="width: 33px"><p><input type="checkbox"/></p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 1</p></td>
					<td style="width: 100px"><p>content 2</p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 3</p></td>
					<td style="width: 135px"><p>content 4</p></td>
				</tr> <!-- end contents of results table -->
			</tbody>
		</table> <!-- end table for correct scrolling -->
	</div>
</body>
</html>

I'm not sure how that gives a static header at all - the whole lot scrolls for me.

Perhaps you can create a proper cut-down test harness and make sure it exhibits the problem before posting the code.
