[css-tables][css-position] sticky cols #3577
Description
I want to suggest an idea that can help to display large tables: sticky position for table columns (for easy horizontal scroll). It is basic functionality in desktop programs like MS Excel. Currently we can find many solutions for this based on some CSS tricks and additional JS calculations but all of this is worst and have a lot of restrictions and errors in edge cases.
Basic concept:
position: stickyonly for first columnposition: stickyinside<td>styles makes this column stuckposition: stickyfor<tr>makes row stuck
Of course there are a big number edge cases (e.g. which behavior should be with table-layout: fixed?) and all of it will be resolved if this idea will develop
