what ?

Top left corner is not hidden: it is not used.
<thead>
<tr>
<th></th>
Place whatever you want in <th></th> keeping in mind to not break the
table layout by too big content.
Ask in <comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html> if more questions arise.
Can you stop now harassing this newsgroup? ;-)

I already tried that.
The script rewrites the table somehow and then blocks the top left corner.
Any other ideas ?

What seems to happen is that the script clones the table twice so that
there are three tables. One is used for the main body, one for the
scrolling header and one for the left column. A div encases the body
and gives you the scroll bars. Script keeps the header and left column
in sync with scrolling of the main body.
There's quite a bit happening with styles too.
A suggestion is to clone the top left cell, put it in a table (or maybe
just a div) and position it where you want it. You should be able to
place the top and left based on the position of the header and left
column clones and use a height and width based on the same elements or
the position of the div encasing the main body.
But have you got permission to use the code?

not sure what you mean by "clone the top left cell". Could you elaborate a bit more ?
There's nothing on the source that says it can't be used.
Thanks for helping

The main body of the table is revealed through a div. A clone of the
table is revealed through a div that shows only the top row and hides
the left-most cell. A similar trick is used to show the left column and
hide the top cell.
If you simply extend either the top div or the left div, the top left
cell will scroll either up or across, depending on which one you use.
So make a clone of the cell and stick it in a table and put it where the
top left cell would be. Or clone the entire table and reveal just the
top left corner through a div like the rest of the table(s). Or clone
just the cell content, put it in a div that mimics the size of the
original cell and put it in the right place.

I appreceiate your help, but there's no way I see to overwrite/clone anything because he is not outputting html it's being displayed
through the script. I believe the script has to be modified to modify the displayed results.
Anything I create will not be shown.
I just can't find where to change the script.....
