Hi all,
I am thinking of trying to integrate xTableHeaderFixed[1] into MediaWiki, perhaps as an extension or perhaps integrated into monobook.js. It is a piece of JavaScript that freezes table headers. So when you scroll down so a big table's header is offscreen but the table body is onscreen, you will still see the header float at the top of your screen. It is very cool; try the demo[1] and see.
xTableHeaderFixed seems to work in basically all modern browsers[2]. Would the xTableHeaderFixed be a useful addition to MediaWiki's functionality? Would it be likely that it would be adopted on enwikipedia once I make this contribution?
