Freeze Header Row and First Columns in a List

Just happened to run across your question. Not sure if you work with JQuery but the code below works on a List View.

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.DataGridFixedHeader { position: relative; top: expression(this.offsetParent.scrollTop);}
-->
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
var $table = $("TABLE[ID^='{4C9CFF20-B467-4E10-820C-0A132442CF98}']:first", "#MSO_ContentTable");

<!--WRAP TABLE IN SCROLL PANE-->
$table.wrap("<DIV style='OVERFLOW: auto; HEIGHT: 420px'></DIV>");
<!--FROZEN HEADER ROW-->
$("TR.ms-viewheadertr:first", $table).addClass("DataGridFixedHeader");
});
</script>

SharePoint list views don't have a standard structure with a head section. To make your code work, you'll need to:

• add a head tag to your table (prepend)
• Move the headers (first row of the body) to the head

For SharePoint 2010 only. One can use below script for freezing header of the list. It provides both vertical and horizontal scrolling of headers.

//jquery lib
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

//style sheet
<style type="text/css">
.fixedBlock {
    POSITION: fixed; TOP: 15px
}</style>


//jquery script to freeze header
<script type="text/javascript">

var leftInit;
var top;

$(document).ready(function () {
//get left and top offset of the header
leftInit = $('tr.ms-viewheadertr').offset().left;
top = $('tr.ms-viewheadertr').offset().top;
});

//scrolling event
$('#s4-workspace').scroll(function() {
    var x = 0 - $('#s4-workspace').scrollLeft();
    var y = $('#s4-workspace').scrollTop();
    var rowWidth = $('tr.ms-viewheadertr').width();
    if (y >= top) {
        $('tr.ms-viewheadertr').addClass('fixedBlock');
        $('tr.ms-viewheadertr').offset({
             left: x + leftInit
        });
        $('table.ms-listviewtable').css('width', rowWidth+"px");
    } else {
        $('tr.ms-viewheadertr').removeClass('fixedBlock');
    }

});

</script>
