I have a task in WebFocus 8.0.09 to generate HTML or AHTML report output.
User requires in the output to freeze HEADING and Column TITLES , so the scroll down will be available. Also freeze first left column in same output, it will allow scroll data to the right.

My question is the same as in a post year 2010 but applying to WebFOCUS 8:
1. Can we freeze the first column in HTML output.
2. Can we freeze the headings in AHTML output?

If the answer still NO, what would be the way around?

Thank you.

HTML reports:

- As far as I know, there's no way to freeze the first column.
- Use the WebFOCUS style-sheet attribute HFREEZE to freeze column titles, this creates a scrollable area for the report body.

Active HTML reports:

- Use the WebFOCUS style-sheet attribute FREEZE-COLUMN to set the column to freeze the report at - it does not have to be the first column.
- Use the WebFOCUS style-sheet attribute LINES-PER-PAGE to set the number of reports rows to see on one page. Paging is automatically created.

Thank you for your response Francis.

I remember a presentation given at Summit in 2007 where a customer showed how to freeze column titles and the first column in an HTML report. So, I know it can be done. All CSS and WebFOCUS stylesheet code.

I have located my hard copy of the presentation, but I will see if IB still has an electronic version of it around somewhere. Will let you know.

Thank you Emily.

Of course it can be done, but it's not necessarily easy, and try doing that with the almighty GUI...
