I know this topic has been asked, but the posts are all out of date, or not functional on IE8.

In brief we basically want to do the excel style locking of column headers in a GridView.

I have seen a couple of solutions one jquery+ css(setExpression) which doesn't work in IE8. And another that uses ajax extensions, yet again doesn't work in IE8.

I have been through every solution in the below link and have yet to find a working implementation for IE8.

I see telerik has an implementation that is more thank what i want, this is such a simple concept I can believe i am going to have to buy a toolkit...
