In this example, windowed elements such as form selects respect the non-scroll table header. In IE, the footer is now visible and behaves as desired. Another advantage is that I am using normal CSS positioning instead of IE-proprietary expressions. Tables don't need an ID so more non-scroll tables can be added without modifying the style sheet. This version abandons support to IE5.x since IE6 "standards-mode" is used to complete the effect.
Prettyprint: the dropdown select options are converted to text when printed from Internet Explorer.
