    What wheel? A wheel would get in the way on my pointing device. You don't
    need a wheel to be able to middle-click.

      Yes, but people with 3 buttons[1] would probably figure the middle one
      was clickable. Those with a wheel instead of a middle button might not
      think it so obvious :-)

      [1] Just in case of any confusion, I mean people who use a pointing
      device in the form of a mouse which has 3 buttons. Not people with 3
      buttons on them.

        In the Windows world, mouses typically come with a wheel mounted between
        the left and right buttons. This wheel is used to scroll up and down the
        screen, but can also be clicked. Many Windows users, even long-time
        users, do not know this.

            It's in the broken browser script built into the programmable refrigerator.

                Fortunately, it's trivial to defeat those restrictions with the
                Proxomitron. I never browse without it.

                  What I understand from your question is that you want to launch a new
                  window for a Web page with a fixed window size and no scroll bars. Is
                  that correct?

                  If so, note the following. I use SeaMonkey (but Firefox and Camino have
                  the same or similar capabilities). I use tabbed browsing. If a link on
                  a Web page attempts to launch a new window, it merely launches a new tab
                  within my existing window. Since it is my existing window, the window
                  size does not change; and the scroll bars remain. Further, the menu
                  bar, all my toolbars, and any status or other display zones remain
                  operative.

                  You will be going through a lot of effort to seize control of my
                  browser, but my browser will defeat that effort and leave me in control.

                    Yes, correct.
                    I would like let users change window size and scroll up/down,
                    left/right. But all browsers implemented the <tableare suck!

                    When you have a LARGE/BIG <table>, 1. you want the header row (top row)
                    remain on the top when you scroll the vertical scrolling bar.

                    Similar, 2. you want the left column remain on the left when you scroll
                    the horizontal scrolling bar.

                    I have been tried to do 1. and 2. for few months. So far I success on 1.
                    by used CSS

                    tbody.maintable { overflow-y: scroll; height: 35em; overflow-x: scroll;
                    width: 40em; }

                    By this I can limit the table height in 35em. But the browser window
                    override the width, made the window very wide. I also tried

                    <table width="80%"stil l no luck.

                    Therefore, I give up this. I came up my own way to handle a LARGE/BIG
                    <table>. Let user doing up/down, left/right meet the requirement 1. and 2.

                    You will be going through a lot of effort to seize control of my
                    browser, but my browser will defeat that effort and leave me in control.

                    Try this link, I know you can still resize the window size.
                    I hope you can not resize the <frame>
                    I tested it works well in FF (Firefox) and NS (Netscape), not quite well
                    in IE.



                    Any new idea help me improve? Meet the requirement 1. and 2.?

                      When I selected the link in your message, a new browser window was
                      launched (per my options). I did not see a recognizable frame.
                      However, my browser did indicate frames. The window had no scrollbars,
                      but I could scroll using my keyboard arrows as well as my PageUp and
                      PageDown keys. I used my browser's capability to relaunch the frame in
                      a new tab. Then I had scroll bars.

                      I got similar results when I copied the link's URL and pasted it into
                      the address bar of a tab in my original browser window.

                      Aha! I now understand not only what you want but why. If this task
                      were mine, I would implement it in an Excel spreadsheet with the top row
                      and left column frozen. Then the headers in the top row would "stick"
                      to their columns but always be on top while the labels in the left
                      column would "stick" to their rows but always at at the left. Then I
                      would upload the spreadsheet to the Web server and provide a link to it
                      in my Web page. Of course, this would limit my audience to only those
                      who can view an Excel spreadsheet.

                      On the other hand, I believe there is a capability for scrollable
                      windows within a Web page. This would allow you to put the header row
                      just above such a window and the contents within the window, which would
                      have a vertical scrollbar. However, I don't know how to do this, having
                      never needed it. Also, I'm not sure you can put such a window within
                      another window so that you can have both a header row and a index column.
