no scrolling headers (et al)? [Archive]

I create a report on a screen, and now I'm getting people asking me if I can make the headers none scrollable, and let the report scroll beneath the header.
The thing is, these reports are actually generated by them, not me. I just read them in and display them via the web (adding a greenbar affect for them). Therefore, I don't know what portion is the header programmatically. I only know looking at it as a human being, and their different reports have headers differently, so I can't just say "make the first 4 or 5 lines non-scrollable.
What they're asking is is there a way that they can select which lines they want not to scroll and have everything else scroll under.

Here's what I have:

<DIV Class="ReportViewText">
<PRE Style="Font-Family: Courier New; Font-Size: 8pt;" > 12/22/87 C. D. T R I A L B A L A N C E PAGE 001 
 
 CUST CD CURRENT ORIGINAL ACCR. NEXT LAST ORIG CURR TY TO
 NBR N A M E NBR BALANCE BALANCE INT. RATE DATE PAID DATE MATY CD FG
 
 100021 MR OR MRS W A SMITH 8719 79,000.00 2,827.77 .06500 01/04/88 06/04/87 06/04/87 01/04/88 1 0

Bear in mind that ReportViewText is a scrollable div.

Assume the report goes on for quite a few lines and then

</PRE></DIV>

Any Ideas on how to make this work?

can you not split the report, i.e Top (Custoemr Details, which you could then fix) and bottom (scrollable content)

Thought of that, but concerned that the columns really wouldn't line up very well. Plus, if the report scrolls horizontally, then I'd have to scroll the header section too (and not sure that can be done where they will continue to line up).
