static table header

[redbullmarky]

Hi all

Back to basics again....

I'm trying to come up with the best solution for laying out a table of an unknown height. My tables are currently being used for presenting a list, with x amount of columns. The table has a <TH> header.
Now - whether my table has 2 rows or 1000 rows, I want it all restricted into a 100%x200px box.
I've thrown my table into a 200 pixel high <DIV> which works to an extent. However, I want my TH to stay visible.

The only way I can get it to work is to split the list into two tables - one for the header, and one (contained in a DIV) for the data, however, even if i specify column widths, the column labels in the header to not align properly (or neatly) with my data.

THEAD, TBODY, etc worked to an extent, but no matter what i did, i got an ugly horizontal scroll bar which I really don't want. if i could get rid of the scrollbar along the bottom and keep the one on the right, then TBODY would be perfect.

does anyone have any ideas?
my target client is using a mixture of FF1.5 and IE6 so as long as it works in those, i don't mind for general compatibility.

Cheers
Mark
