Thanks for writing and sharing the solution to your problem, Nicolas.

Hopefully if anyone else is under similar circumstances your fix will come in handy.

Hi,

I’ve been trying out your plugin and stumbled upon a problem.

My table contains text input fields with the jquery.ui autocomplete setup.

When I apply thfloat on the table, the autocomplete do not work any more.

If I comment out this line in init function it works :

data.clonetbl.children().remove();

It also works if i change this line above in the same init function from :

clonetbl : $(this).clone(true).attr({id:id}).addClass(‘thfloat-table’).css({zIndex:’1000′,display:’none’,position:’absolute’}).appendTo(‘body’),

to :

clonetbl : $(this).clone().attr({id:id}).addClass(‘thfloat-table’).css({zIndex:’1000′,display:’none’,position:’absolute’}).appendTo(‘body’),

I think I’ll try the second change and see how it goes. I guess it’s ok for me because I don’t have any data or event handlers on the table element itself, but other people could need the `clone(true)`.

just wanted to let you know of this limitation, thank you for sharing this plugin.

Hi Sarah-

Can you provide a link to this quirky functionality in progress so I can investigate first-hand? Off the top of my head, I don’t have a guess as to the issue, nor have I heard anything like that reported before.

Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for creating this plugin. I’m having a weird problem with it though. It works, except what it does is duplicate my thead and so there are two instances of it. It also moves it down too much. I don’t know if this makes a difference but I’m using the Custom Content Scrollbar (http://manos.malihu.gr/jquery-custom-content-scroller/) with it. Any ideas?

Thanks for reporting, Robert.

I’m curious to see a screenshot of this issue in action. Every time I’ve tried it in IE7 (and I just tried it again), everything works fine.

I’m using IE9’s developer tools to load the page in IE7 mode, I’m not using an actual IE version 7 browser, so it’s possible that has something to do with it.

Like Adrian’s comment before, the demo doesn’t demonstrate any floating THEADER section at all. All of the divs simply scroll the content, and the header stays at the top of the scrolling content, moving out of view.

I know that was over a year and half ago that Adrian’s comment was posted, but thought you’d like to know that under ie7, it doesn’t appear to work.

If I see more attributes that can improve the plugin does not hesitate to tell you.

Thank you very much, rommel!!

Thanks again, Daniel. I've added a new "noprint" option which is true by default, but can be set to false if you want the block to print. You might need it visible if you have a scrolling div and you want the columns labeled. For example, see the demo page.

Great! I’ll try soon.
I´ve also seen, if it helps, that you can not hide it in the print view. The stylesheet is overwritten in execution time and all the attributes have been blocked: visibility, display … It would be good liberate ‘visibility’ in order to declare in the print stylesheet and it does not overlap on the printout.

A greeting and thank you for this useful plugin.

Do you have an example page where it’s broken, or is it the demo page you’re having trouble with? The demo works as expected (with minor aesthetic issues) in IE7.

Thanks for the feedback.

It doesn’t appear to work in IE7
