Freezing the column header row of a GridView control using CSS
I am struggling getting my Gridview in ASP.NET 2.0 Visual Studio 2005 to freeze the column header row and provide for scrolling of the remaining data rows. My specific problems right now are: (IE7) column headers freeze as intended and do not scroll  BUT scroll bar is not initially visible to user (requires scrolling with mouse wheel before scroll bars are exposed in gridview) (Firefox 2.0.10) column header row just scrolls out of sight like any other row  Here is part of my default.css in my default App_Theme folder: /* So the overflow scrolls */ div.coveragesContainer ...

I am able to freeze the header of my gridview, but the header is not scrollable horizontally
As said, I am able to freeze the header of my gridview, but it is not scrollable horizontally with the contents of my table. So finally i got a gridview having a header fixed on the top, but beacause my table has quite a lot of columns, when my gridview scrolls horizontally, the header doesn't move at all, so we can't see which name is for which column in the table, and it doesn't make sense to have a header fixed like that. I am quite sure there should be a simple way to solve the problem.  I don't know how to paste a picture here. It will be more clearly if you...

GridView Freeze Header Works, But Header Border Scrolls Away
I have used the standard CSS style solution to freeze the header in my GridView as shown in the code below.  However, the border around the header does not freeze and I can see the rows scrolling through the thin space where the top edge border used to be when I scroll down the grid.  If I set GridView Border property to 0 then I don't see the rows scrolling through that top edge, but I would like to have a border on the header.  Any suggestions for freezing the border?  I tried setting HeaderStyle-BorderWidth and HeaderStyle-BorderStyle, but no luck there either..hea...

datagrid with a headers header row
Howdy! I am using a datagrid and I have all the rows and then a header row explaining each column, but I want a row above that as part of the table explaining the table. Thoughts? Cheers Can you explain more clearly what you want? Okay, A normal datagrid has the data fields and the header fields where the header fields are a one to one correlation to the data fields and are used to descibe the data fields. That is perfect as well, but I want to put a title on the datagrid above the header fields to use a couple of words to describe the table itself. There will be s...
