Hope you are doing well.
Have you had a chance to look at Kaustav’s patch?

Hello Mark,
Hope you are doing well.
In line to our previous discussion we have the desired functionality ready which was to build a fixed header functionality on DHIS2 data entry application. This functionality will help the user to understand exactly for which column they are entering the data.
To build this functionality we have used an external jQuery library floatThead.
I have attached the patch file along with this mail. Please verify it and provide inputs, if any.
We would like to get this merged in 2.21 and higher.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for that. We also looked for a couple of libraries and found the same with floatThread.
I guess we are good to go with this approach.

Hey All,
We should have jQuery available on the page. So it is probably the most straight forward way to use the floatThread thing.
The library seems pretty mature. I like that better than the scrollable table body, as that adds an extra scrollbar.

Mark

Hi Mark
Thanks a lot for the response.
The changes are for the section forms only.
Thanks for a good to go.
But if you could also comment on the technical approach presented in the first email, it would be very useful.

Hey Kaustav and Vanya,
Your projected changes are related to section forms (not custom forms) is that correct?
For custom forms the users are able to “hack” the html representation. Therefore they could accidentally break this feature, which makes it seem not reliable.
So it is for section forms then (the default generated forms) then we think this would be a welcome feature to go into trunk.

Hi Mark
Hope you are doing well.
We want to make some enhancements to the Data entry app. Which is to make the data entry table header ( category combo header ) stay constant even if we scroll down the page, so that the user knows which column they are entering the data in.
These are a few questions,
1. Would this be alright to add this to DHIS?
2. If you have any recommendations regarding the implementation of this feature? Like using some library or anything of that sort?
At our end we have explored a few things:
Assume, the table is structured as below,
table
thead
tr
th
tbody
tr
td
1. Using a Library:
There is a javascript library called floatThead that can be leveraged for this. It also works with multiple tables present in a single page. So while scrolling the table header remain fixed for each tables.
2. Not using any library,
We can have some fixed height given to a table body and put the y-axis scroll for the table. User has to come to the table element and scroll to get their data element to be seen.
I have attached the screenshots for better understanding.
We are waiting for your response.
Thanks & Regards,
