how to fix header of table with repeater controll with vertical scroll? - asp.net

Question

I have to fix header of table when i scroll down i want to see column header till the end of records. i made this but i am facing a problem. i fetch data from database that's a dynamic data so when i display that in table the layout gets odd. because if there is a column with more than 1000 words that will change its width while i mention table cell width with percentage. how i can solve this problem that header remain on the top and the layout will not be disturbed what ever data is. i do not want to use jQuery
.gridScrollDiv
{
border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
height: 500px;
overflow: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
<div class="gridScrollDiv">
<table id="tblData" class="grid" style="width: 100%;" cellpadding="0">
<thead style="position:absolute;">
<tr>
<th style="width:40%;">
Code
</th>
<th style="width:40%;">
Description
</th>
<th style="width:20%;">
Date
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<asp:Repeater ID="rptLoation" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td style="width:40%; word-wrap:breake-word;">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Code")%>
</td>
<td style="width:40%; word-wrap:breake-word;">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Description")%>
</td>
<td style="width:20%; word-wrap:breake-word;">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "RegistrationDate")%>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

Answer 1

you can use code like below. I have modified css.
.gridScrollDiv
{
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
height: 500px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
taking out the header from the repeater.
<table style="width: 100%;">
<tr style="font-weight: bold;">
<tr>
<td style="width: 40%; text-align: left">
Code
</td>
<td style="width: 40%; text-align: left">
Description
</td>
<td style="width: 20%; text-align: left">
Date
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div class="gridScrollDiv">
<asp:Repeater ID="rptLoation" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate>
<table style="width: 100%;">
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td style="width: 40%; word-wrap: breake-word;">
<div style="width: 350px; overflow-x: scroll;">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Code")%>
</div>
</td>
<td style="width: 40%; word-wrap: breake-word;">
<div style="width: 350px; overflow-x: scroll;">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Description")%>
</div>
</td>
<td style="width: 20%; word-wrap: breake-word;">
<div style="width: 350px; overflow-x: scroll;">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "RegistrationDate")%>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</table>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</div>
this might resolve your purpose....
