Javascript Fixed Header in A table

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your help.It is a great web site with a lot of help
Cheers & Thank You again.
My question is while querying some data and placing it in a table i have as many as 40 columns with many rows.when i am scrolling down data in the table the header gets lost.While analysing data one cant identify the coloumns to respective name.I want that header to be fixed,even after am scrolling 20000 data.But header with the name should be fixed and data to be scrolled down.my table header code is like this .you can use this or by giving single <td> to give coloumn name.

tblHeader = "<tr><th> Sl. No.</th><th>DTR No</th><th>Transformer Rating</th><th>Manufacturer Name</th>"+
"<th>Year of Manufacturer</th><th>Manufacturer Sl. No.</th><th>P.O. No.</th><th>Lot No</th></tr>";

<table class = "formfields" border = "1" align="center" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111">
<%=tblHeader %>

After this how and what code should i give for a fixed header.Thank You

Regards

Hi Friend,

You can do paging.

Try the following code:

<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%!
public int nullIntconvert(String str){
int num=0;
if(str==null) {
str="0";
}
else if((str.trim()).equals("null")) {
str="0";
}
else if(str.equals("")) {
str="0";
}
try{
num=Integer.parseInt(str);
}
catch(Exception e) { }
return num;
}
%>
<%
Connection conn = null;
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test","root";, "root");
ResultSet rs1 = null;
ResultSet rs2 = null;
PreparedStatement ps1=null;
PreparedStatement ps2=null;

int showRows=10;
int totalRecords=10;
int totalRows=nullIntconvert(request.getParameter("totalRows"));
int totalPages=nullIntconvert(request.getParameter("totalPages"));
int iPageNo=nullIntconvert(request.getParameter("iPageNo"));
int cPageNo=nullIntconvert(request.getParameter("cPageNo"));

int startResult=0;
int endResult=0;
if(iPageNo==0){
iPageNo=0;
}
else{
iPageNo=Math.abs((iPageNo-1)*showRows);
}
String query1="SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM student limit "+iPageNo+","+showRows+"";
ps1=conn.prepareStatement(query1);
rs1=ps1.executeQuery();
String query2="SELECT FOUND_ROWS() as cnt";
ps2=conn.prepareStatement(query2);
rs2=ps2.executeQuery();
if(rs2.next()) {
totalRows=rs2.getInt("cnt");
System.out.println(totalRows);
}
%>

try{
if(ps1!=null){
ps1.close();

if(rs1!=null){

if(ps2!=null){

if(rs2!=null){
rs2.close();
}
if(conn!=null){
conn.close();

}

The above jsp page is named as 'pagination.jsp'.

It will be helpful for you.
Thanks
