The jquery.freezetable plugin freezes the header row of a table and adds a scroll bar to allow a long table to be scrolled vertically.
jquery.freezetable when applied to a table will freeze the top table header and add vertical scroll bars to the body of the table.
The table markup needs to adhere to the HTML 4.01 Specification for Tables. The row groups THEAD and TBODY are used to determine which sections of the table should be frozen. jquery.freezetable clones the table and removes the TBODY from the cloned copy to 'freeze' the header. It then removes the THEAD from the original table to make the scrollable portion of the table. jquery.freezetable also depends on COLGROUP to maintain consistent column styling between the orginal and cloned header table.
###Expected <table> markup
<table id="mytable">
<colgroup>
<col class="column-make" />
<col class="column-display" />
<col class="column-country" />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>make_id</th>
<th>make_display</th>
<th>make_country</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>abarth</td>
<td>Abarth</td>
<td>Italy</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
