title: Recommend A Solution For Large HTML Data Tables?
body: <p>I'm renovating a legacy Java webapp.  I redid a screen that displays the results of a database search.  The search can potentially produce a large number of results.  The legacy version just printed everything.  I went one better by putting in some divs and CSS such that horizontal and vertical scrollbars appear when needed.</p>
  
  <p>This is not so great.  The user loses sight of the column headers when scrolling vertically through many rows.  Putting the column headers in their own div is not a great solution, as there are JUST ENOUGH columns to require horizontal scrolling too.  The user would get stuck scrolling the results vertically and then scrolling the column names horizontally.</p>
  
  <p>Would anyone care to recommend a solution that will not involve spending money or involve learning a whole new framework or system?</p>
  
  <p>I don't need something high powered.  Like I wrote, if the number of columns were just 2-3 fewer I probably wouldn't need horizontal scrolling and could just put the headers in their own stationary div.</p>
