<br></div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace;">To my knowledge, NS6+ and Mozilla were the only browsers to properly support a scrolling tbody. For whatever reason, Firefox dropped this support sometime after 2006.<br>
<br></div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace;">Simply, the css was<br></div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace;">tbody {<br></div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace;">
overflow: auto;<br></div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace;"> height: xxx;<br> }<br><br></div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace;">The work-around for IE and Opera was fairly straight forward and still works for them as well as for Chrome and Firefox. See <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20060421055400/http://garyblue.port5.com/webdev/scrollingtable.html" target="_blank">http://web.archive.org/web/20060421055400/http://garyblue.port5.com/webdev/scrollingtable.html</a> for a working example, written in 2004 and modified in 2006 for non-compliant browsers, which now sorrily includes FF.<br>
<br></div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace;">I'd consider this far more robust than using js to modify behavior.<br><br></div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace;">
