Can A Div Be "Fixed" Vertically But Not Horizontally ?

Hi,

People on here have helped to have create a fixed header div where I put an absolute div inside which makes it work great vertically.  However, I actually need it to just be absolute when scrolling horizontally and not sure if this is possible?

#header {position: fixed; z-index:100; padding:20px; width:100%}

<div id="header">
      <div class="Output" style="position:absolute; top:<%=nTop%>px; left:<%=nLeft%>px; width:160px; height:50px; background:#aaaaaa; font-size:12px;">
                <strong><%=UCase(strOpName)%><br><%=strTrade%></strong>
       </div>
</div>

Many thanks

why don't you add the following in header and try?

#header {position: fixed; z-index:100; padding:20px; width:100%;overflow:hidden;}
or you can make sure that header doesn't have to scroll horizontally, by having a specific height and overflow property for content below the header

Thanks, but it's the brower scroll I'm referring to.  See attached, I want the header to be fixed vertically but when the scroll horizontally, I want the  header to be absolute.  Not sure if this is possible... User generated image
why is browser having a scrollbar? you need to give this table (content below header) the specific width and overflow property as auto

it's a popup window and because of the number of records, it has a scroll bar.  I want the header to stay fixed when they scroll down and absolute when they scroll horizontally (so the header moves with horrizontal scroll).

Thanks, that's great.  Although I'm using divs not a table.  See attached the code after the header (table data).  Because of the above of records, they are using the windows browsers and want the header to stay fixed when scrolling vertically and absolute when scrolling horizontally.

Not sure if I'm making sense :)

Thanks for your help so far!

Thanks, but did you get this resolved?

I went about it a different way, although stuck again as the loop is only doing the last one :)

Thanks for your help...

$(document).ready(function(){
 
for(n = 1; n < 10; n++)
                             
{

var name = "#floatMenu_"+n;  
var menuYloc = null;  
    menuYloc = parseInt($(name).css("top").substring(0,$(name).css("top").indexOf("px")))  
    $(window).scroll(function () {  
        var offset = menuYloc+$(document).scrollTop()+"px";  
        $(name).animate({top:offset},{duration:500,queue:false});  
    });  
}

});

Final code used...

$(document).ready(function() {
                  var menuYloc = new Array();
                  for(n = 1; n < 5; n++) {
                        var name = "#floatMenu_" + n;
                        menuYloc[n] = parseInt($(name).css("top").substring(0,$(name).css("top").indexOf("px")))
                  }
                  $(window).scroll(function () {                       
                        for(n = 1; n < 5; n++) {
                            var name = "#floatMenu_" + n;  
                            var offset = menuYloc[n] + $(document).scrollTop() + "px";  
                            $(name).animate({top:offset},{duration:500,queue:false});
