How do I make the second column of my table frozen

Hi Experts,

I've got this very usefull script. It has a frozen header row and the first left column is frozen as well.
With frozen I mean the other content scrols beneath it.
What I would like is the second column to be frozen as well.

I've tried to make sense out of the code but my knowledge level is not far enough to understand it completely.

What should I do to achieve this?
Thank you,

Put the first two colums in a colgroup and then apply whatever is being applied to the first column to the colgroup instead.

Hi COBOLdinosaur,

Thank for your comment. But how do I put the both in the same colgroup?

Never heard of Google?

Yes thank you very much for the google link I really needed that.

But I don’t know where and how to implement it in the javascript. This javascript does not make sense to me and I don't where to implement it in the code.

I'm more into classic asp and PHP and I can't figure out how this works in javascript. Maybe you can help me out a little further. And please don't give me links to javascripting classes.

>>>This javascript does not make sense to me and I don't where to implement it in the code.

Then why are you using you do not understand. How do you know it does not include malicious code? How do you intend to support it or maintain it if you don't understand it?

You need to spend some time learning it well enough to avoid long term issues.
