HTML how to position div over table

    Hi all ,
    I am trying to place a div tag over the table. My div tag has horizontal and vertical scroll bars and it works fine as long as the table cells having "position:absolute". However for a critical reason I want to change the position attribute of the specified table cells to fixed i.e. position:fixed.
    However once I set the position attribute to fixed , the table column come out of the div tag. Is there any way we can avoid this. May be z-index can help . I tried using that. But it was not working.
    Thanks in advance

    that's a tough one, you're doing some stuff that was never meant to be done.

    you could use negative margins, but in essence is like making the elements with absolute positioning again. What's the reason the position:absolute cannot be used?
