Thread: Adding headers to the bottom of a table
page in question: http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/sql-keywords-appendix.html#KEYWORDS-TABLE (aka doc/src/sgml/keywords.sgml) I'd like to add column "headers" to the *bottom* of the sql keywords table, but I can't simply add a duplicate <thead> at the bottom. Is there a way to accomplish this? Would people be against the idea? Robert Treat -- Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL

That was kind of my wondering, since upon further reflection I think I'd
might want to see the "labels" every 20 rows or something. This is
really handy with html versions, but I don't know about other formats.

On a paged medium (e.g., paper), a new header is already added on every new page, so this problem seems to be specific to HTML. Take a look at the stylesheets if you like, but table processing is very hairy. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net

Mozilla handles it okay, some properly ignore it if they don't know how to handle it, but the various version of IE are pretty buggy with it. Using the various (non-JS) tricks to hide CSS from the various browsers can make it workable. The overall effect isn't the greatest though. If anyone wants to see a sample of such scrolling I'll provide one soon as I can resolve the developer.postgresql.org site again ;).
