Freezing Column Titles using FP2K
I'm new to FP
How do I "freeze" col titles (a la Excel) so that as I scroll down, the title heads stay in place?
If FP cannot do this officially, are there any work-arounds?
Thank you
ASKER
I know, but I also know enough about M$ to suspect if you can do this in Access and Excel, this ability lurks in FP though no doubt it is NOT called this -- I just have a gut feeling there is a work-a-round at least
Thanks
Hi zyzzyva57,
If I understand your question, this can be done using scrollable tables quite easily - do you still have a need for this?

I would still be most interested in finding out about "scrollable tables"

Qt: I'm still new to FP, so I need some farther help: how can I see the above in action? Call up FP, go to a new web page, then "HTML", and finally "Preview"
I've done this, but seem to be missing a step.
I look forward seeing this, because you are the only one that has even come close with a solution I want
Thank you,

You seem to be doing the correct steps - I'll outline them here for you:
1. Copy (Ctrl-C) everything from above starting with <html> and ending with </html>
2. Open Notepad (or whichever text editor you use) and paste (Ctrl-V) the contents.
3. Open FP, create a new page, save it as test.html, and click on the HTML tab.
4. Select everything on the page (Ctrl - A) and click delete. You now have a completely blank page.
5. Paste (Ctrl-V) everything from Notepad into the FP HTML screen.
6. Select File > Save or simply click on the floppy disk icon in the toolbar.
7. Select File > Preview in Browser or click on the Preview tab in FP to see the table in action.
Note: You cannot copy and paste from my code above directly into FP - you must paste it into Notepad first.

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will accept your ans, most definitely
Awesome
I'm accepting first by commenting so I can up the points and sneak in another short 2 qts...
Why in the HTML tab many times there is coding I can only see when I highlight?
Why do I have to use Notepad to make the transition? Going from here to FP puts in hidden stuff?
Thank you for your answer and patiennce

Hi Miles,
>> coding I can only see when I highlight?
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by that, but it may be the color of the code that FP is generating. You can change that by going to:
Tools > Page Options > Color Coding. It's possible that the color of some types of code is white or very light. If it's not that, please let me know.
>>Why do I have to use Notepad to make the transition?
This is because the code that you see here "on" the screen is created by code "behind" the screen.
So if I write <html> and you paste that into the html view of FP, you'll get <html>
< is the code that generates < and > is the code that generates >
That markup won't work - so you need to paste code from the screen into Notepad to make it plain text (not generated text) and then into FP. It's a pain - but necessary.
Thanks Miles,
GM

Outstanding
Nice working with you
I am making a hard copy of your code so I can go through it line by line, because I don't understand how parts of it work -- I need to be able to adapt the code
I have a web site that suits my need, but everytime I try to make it look less bz, I dunno, in the end, I guess I need it bz for what I want the site for, i.e., helping teenagers

I think your suggestion may enable me to slow down the "bz" look of my tbls, yet have tbls
Again, thank you
