applying style to <tbody>

i checked the archives of this group and found that, so far, no-one has
posted a working css solution to making a <tbody> block scrollable, using
the overflow property. the purpose is to create scrolling data under
fixed-position column headers aligned with the data columns.

actually, the best solution posted was as described above, but it was found
not to work in any known UA. i suspect it was an implementation problem and
not an error in the standard.

i wonder if anyone could follow-up, who has had success more recently, using
this technique; or if there's another working solution. TIA.

If the best solution did not work on any
known UA, what did the *worst* do, ..cause
leprosy?

The CSS in http://www.htmlhelp.com/test/tbody.html works just fine in the
(Mozilla-based) browsers that support it.

Unclean. [rings bell] Unclean. [rings bell] Invalid markup is *unclean*!

Worse! :-O

At least, with leprosy, the bad bits fall
off.. I've had pages with invalid HTML on the
net for 4 years or more, and not one bit of
the invalid mark-up has fallen off them, yet! :-(
