[javascript] How can I lock the first row and first column of a table when scrolling, possibly using JavaScript and CSS?

Sort and Lock Table is the only solution I have seen which does work on other browsers than IE. (although this "locked column css" might do the trick as well). Required code block below.

Generic Table Sort

Basic Concept: A table can be sorted by clicking on the title of any
column in the table, toggling between ascending and descending sorts.


Assumptions:

* The first row of the table contains column titles that are "clicked"
  to sort the table

* The images 'desc.gif','asc.gif','none.gif','sorting.gif' exist

* The img tag is in each column of the the title row to represent the
  sort graphic.

* The CSS classes 'alternateRow' and 'sortedColumn' exist so we can
  have alternating colors for each row and a highlight the sorted
  column.  Something like the <style> definition below, but with the
  background colors set to whatever you want.

   <style>
   tr.alternateRow {
     background-color: #E0F1E0;
   }

   td.sortedColumn {
     background-color: #E0F1E0;
   }

   tr.alternateRow td.sortedColumn {
     background-color: #c5e5c5;
   }
   </style>
