fixed table header / fixed row

Hi!

Is it possible to fix the table head or one group. So, if you have large tables, you can always see the header row. Is it possible for HTML and (but not that important) for Excel?

Thank you!

Check out this DevShare item. IT give you what you are looking for in HTML. It does not address Excel.<br />

Hello!

With eclipse I get: "the report file of version 3.2.17 is not supported"

But when I upload the Report to JBoss - Birt server - it works. So I have to read and understand the xml source???

The report is built in BIRT 2.3.2. Are you using an older version of the eclipse designer?

This devshare item works very nice with one html page.
For large tables I use paginated html.
In this case the header is not fixed with this solution.
What can I do to realize fixed table header in paginated html ?

The paginated HTML introduces extra iFrames into the resulting HTML output and as a result makes the fixed header a bit more problematic to implement. I would have to re-work the DevShare item to work in this scenario. As you found it is not supported right now.

That would be great ! Do You intend to do this in the next future ?

Hey,

I have a question to the fixed table header. It all works fine with the Eclipse BIRT, but when I try to do the same in the Actuate BIRT Professional Developer, the fixed table header does not work any more. In particular, the table with the content does not show at all any more. Is it possible that fixed table header neither works with BIRT Viewer nor BIRT Interactive Viewer?

Thanks for your help in advance,

Simon
