When you have two or more columns fixed on a table, there might be occasions when you which to have one column floating on top of another. This example shows how you can do that with the initialisation parameters zTop
, zBottom
, zLeft
and zRight
. In this example the left column is set to float on top of the header. The difference is subtle, but can be effective.
The default zIndexes are:
zTop
: 104zBottom
: 103zLeft
: 102zRight
: 101This example shows the left column being floated on top of the header.
