More Development Progress in the Coming Week
I’ve had to put a hold on further developing the plugin due to other projects keeping me busy. I am happy to announce that I am back working on the plugin. Thanks for all the comments, feedback, and feature suggestions. I will do my best to incorporate most of them into this release.

You have tested it and writing form your personal experience or you find some information online?
Nice. I’ve seen a lot of Javascript libraries to have a fixed-header-scrolling-table, but not that many that implement a fixed left column. Wish it could work with Chrome though…
THanks, keep up the good work.
Hi Mark, first of all thanks for this nice script. I have been testing with 300+ rows and works well but when I resize the window, in IE7 is pretty slow.
I have notice that if I change from 8 to 2 columns the resizing speeds up, so I have thought about fixing the width of as many columns I can. could be posible to improve the resizing speed with this?
It’s really bizarre, actually – after the page loads in IE6, the containing div then slowly, pixel by pixel, “shrinks” back to the height set.
One other bug I noticed: regardless of what you set the container div that holds the table height to, in IE6 it will ignore this. As a result, I think this where IE6 support might get performance issues.
Hmm…this must be a new bug. I’ll add that to the list. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Great plugin!
I’m working with the resize and collapsible rows. This works perfect but have a problem with the height when the rows aren’t collapsed – the number of rows do not exceed the window height. Is it possible to have the table height set to auto when the table height is smaller than the window height?
I’m trying to combine your excellent plugin with the JQuery tablesorter plugin, but nothing happens (the sortable table links don’t seem to take effect) – is there a particular way to do this, or perhaps sortability can be built into the existing plugin? Thanks for an easy to implement plugin, and honestly, one of the very few that does EXACTLY what it claims to do – most are too bloated with extra features that cannot be easily turned off.
After taking a look at the tablesorter plugin, I’m not sure that it would work together. The sorting I’ve tested successfully is back-end sorting, meaning you’d execute an ajax request that would execute a new database query with a different ‘order by asc/desc’ and return new data. I prefer this method because its not dependent on the users browser to do the sorting and you don’t have to pre-load all your data. You can use pagination or an ajax buffering scrolling system.
However, I’ve had a number of requests to add js sorting so its something I’m looking into.
Thanks for the comment!

Hi ! Thanks a lot, I have been looking for something like this!
It works pretty fine in IE 6+ and Firefox, wich is what I need.
I noted some “slow script” problem when adding some options to the plugin method.
Also, I think the plugin should not change the visual styles of the tables and it’s children, or at least it should be another option.
Very good work, keep it up!

Thanks for the comment!
Which options did you notice the slow script so I can investigate further?
I’m also going to clean up the CSS so its just the minimum required and doesn’t add any visual styling but rather implements the users existing styles. The current visual styles were something I was using for a project when I first wrote the plugin so I kept it in the plugin so that the demo’s don’t look too dull and boring.

Impressive job. This really is a very useful and much needed plugin. I ‘ve tried it in Firefox and IE 8.0, with asp .net ListView control and even messed a little with the css to adjust the appearance of the table.
I have to report a problem with tables that have many rows (100+) (with a lot of text content in each cell).
The browser (Mozilla Firefox 3.5.5) was seemingly “frozen” and taking a long time to complete the javascript Eventually, it gave me a warning window to terminate the script (I didn’t, and it finished running after a little while). For these tables I have to use paging with a page size of 20 or 25 in order to keep responsiveness at acceptable levels.
Hi Phillip,
I’ve been experimenting with having 500+ rows of data and it does cause a ’slow script’ error in Safari/Firefox. I am taking a look at this issue so I can improve performance with more data.
Thanks for the feedback!

Please work on the Excel like fixed column. I’ve been looking for this all over and found nothing that really works =/
Good job already!
