Java web component that can display data from a database, (like .NET's DataGrid) that can lock the first column so when you scroll right all the columns scroll but the first.

For example. Column 1 has name and the rest of the columns are data about a person so when you scrool to the right you would want the name column to stay in view to the user while they look at the other data.

I am looking for a solution for jsp and javascript.

Code examples are welcomed.

Hello,

I don't think that is what I am looking for... I want an object that has its own scroll bars and not the pages. So you scroll with the object and the first column (or whatever column I say) doesn't move but the other do.

I already know hot to access a database in java. I am asking for the existance of an object that has its own scroll bars and not the pages. So you scroll with the object and the first column (or whatever column I say) doesn't move but the other do.

So if I used a java applet instead of jsp or javascript you think there would be a component? You don't happen to know what component would do what I am asking?

A component that you can use for applet would be JTable.

I checked http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wsphelp/index.jsp?topic=/com.sun.api.doc/javax/swing/JTable.html and didn't see anything that would allow me to lock a column so it wouldn't scroll.

I guess you can't do this... I will have to use two jtables...

Thanks for the help.
