Fixed Table Headers

Variation for Narrow Data Columns

This technique is for IE5.5+ only. Note that the flip filters use ActiveX so the headers will read from top to bottom if the user has wisely limited their ActiveX security settings. I recommend this solution only if you have an easily-impressed boss.

The key styles:

table   {
	table-layout: fixed
	}

thead td{
	position:relative; 
	top: expression(document.getElementById("data").scrollTop-1); 
	writing-mode: tb-rl;
	filter: flipv() fliph(); /*read bottom up*/
	padding-bottom: 10px;
	text-align: left;
	white-space: nowrap;
	}
