Abstract
A method, system, and/or computer program product visualizes tabular data with dynamically-generated frozen regions. A control and coordination mechanism oversees modification of a visualization of a browser-based main data table. A cloning and sizing process recursively traverses regions of the browser-based main data table to selectively clone and size regions of the browser-based main data table to be frozen, wherein the regions of the browser-based main data table to be frozen are selectable from any area of the browser-based main data table. An element insertion and positioning process positions and makes visible each newly cloned frozen region, wherein each newly cloned frozen region overlays a region of the browser-based main data table. A responsiveness process uses event listeners and polling mechanisms to detect actions and changes in a table viewport of a visible portion of the browser-based main data table to trigger regeneration of each newly cloned frozen region.
