question on
tag

Hi there,

I have a jsp page where a session bean with a Vector of Objects is passed
in.  I want to display selected fields for each element from this Vector in
a table somewhere in the page.  The list can be large/long both vertically
and horizontally.  The table is to be within a <html:form> and so naturally
I would like to have the submit buttons stay on the page while I scrolling
through the data table.  So I am thinking using <div> to make the table
inside the page.  I would like to leave the column headings stay above the
column data no matter where I scroll into the data table.  It seems like I
can do that with two tables, one table with all the column headings, the
second table contains the data which will be between the <div> </div> tags
which I can scroll.  

I have two problems with this plan:
1.  how can I always make the column headings 
    match the corresponding column data, i.e.., 
   when I scroll horizontally on the data table 
   in the <div>, I want the table with the headings 
   also "scroll" accordingly.  

2. I want noWrap for all of the columns in data 
    table in the <div>, since I don't know the 
    largest length of the dynamically supplied 
    data by the session bean, so I can't specify 
    a fixed width for the <td>.  because it seems 
    like that if the specified width of <td> is 
    smaller than the real data, wrapping will still 
    happen.   So I have a very difficult time 
    aligning the table heading columns with the 
   data table columns (which is in the <div> tag).  

Any suggestions or help are greatly appreciated very much,
