Fixed column when scrolling right when using tableview and iterator

Former Member

Hello again,

I have created a BSP that displays a table. No real rocket science here. But the table has more columns than can be displayed on the screen. So the user has to scroll to the right. Again no biggie. The problem is that the first column on the left contains the description of the data in the row. So when the user scrolls right the description "disappears" off the left side of the screen. Is there a way to make the first column always stay on the left part of the screen. Similar to the ALV and how you can make certain columns (the key columns) not scroll to the left. I am using the HTMLB tableview tag a table iterator(which I love) and MVC. I tried the fixedColumn attribute but that didn't work. Any ideas?

TIA,

Rich

Hello,

I did try the fixedColumn attribute but much to my dismay it doesn't do what I had hoped. I can't try "wrapping" the row title column because there can be as many as 350 columns (yes you read that right. Thank goodness for the iterator). I think Craig hit the nail on the head. I may have to put 2 tableview next to each other and yes Craig the users want to enter data in those cells. I have found an IAC (for those of us who still remember the ITS) that does exactly what I want. So I will now go and pick apart that code and see how it is handling it. I wish there was a more elegant solution and if there is I will be sure to post it.

Cheers,

Rich

BTW - I am still open to suggestions if anyone has one

The only thing with using that really cool IE only CSS solution is that you would have to redefine all the CSS values that go with the tableview and even then it may only work if you build the table completely manually.

But a very cool solution nonetheless!!!!
