Overview
Scrollable HTML table JavaScript code can be used to convert tables in
ordinary HTML into scrollable ones. No additional coding is necessary. All you
need to do is put header rows (if you need them) in THEAD section, table body
rows in TBODY section, footer rows (if you need them) in TFOOT section and give
your table an ID field, include the webtoolkit.scrollabletable.js file and
create ScrollableTable() object after each table.
Scrollable HTML table code tested in IE5.0+, FF1.5+.
