Hello, is it possible to freeze the header column ...

Hello, is it possible to freeze the header column on a sublist in a Suitelet? something like it can be done in Excel? so the user just scrolls the results rows and the header row stays above always

Awesome thanks!

In my opinion, if you're doing a custom suitelet, skip the 
n/ui
stuff altogether and use pure HTML/JS for your screen or even more powerful - a real framework like Angular.
I don't think I'll ever do 
form.createField()
again (with rare exception where I need some feature that actually requires it)

I feel for UI/UX it's important to have a cohesive interface so I'll use serverWidget as much as possible
s
for cases where it must look like native NS, aye
there's lots of use cases for suitelets where you wouldn't want the UX to be like NS. NS is a complex,generally dense expert ERP software. There's also many that think the NS UI/UX stinks graphically and would much prefer something better. 🙂
I find that vanilla suitelets are only a good use of time when you have a simple screen that specifically fits the header/details mold best supported by serverWidget.

I'm not going to argue that NetSuite UI/UX could do with some improvements, but for anything end user facing I'll try keep that look and feel
s
Much (if not most) of NS is just a bunch of header/detail screens
I (and customers) enjoy the idea of flexibility of not being constrained to NS look and feel for certain customizations. I've seen quite a few insanely complex suitelets just trying to achieve something that is otherwise far more mundane when using 'real' web dev tooling.
I don't want to convince you not to use serverWidget` @michoel as my alternative approaches are a competitive advantage 🙂

Lol

Is there a example available somewhere of using a framework like for example Angular within a Suitelet? I am curious to see how can it be done and how does the end result looks like within NS

There used to be a project called create-spa-netsuite, but unfortunately it isn't available any more. I have an example using vue.js here that was bootstrapped using that project https://github.com/michoelchaikin/netsuite-mapreduce-util

Thanks for sharing! I have barely use those frameworks, but they do indeed look good
