 * Can the fixed first column contain a menu?
 * I am planning to create a table of my great-grandfather’s diaries. I have [a test page here](https://rpmelvin.com/diarytest/),
   trying out several table plugins.
 * There are fifty years worth, including the years when he was a soldier in the
   Union army during the Civil War. It would be nice if I could list the years in
   the fixed first column and have them be links to those years in the table.

 * Hi Rich,
 * Thank you for reaching out to us.
 * Could you please clarify what do you mean by the “Fixed first column contain 
   a menu”??
 * We do have the fixed first column feature already in our tablesome premium version.
   You can have a look at how it works here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVK7ITApRGE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVK7ITApRGE).
   You can include any format type in the fixed first column like links, images,
   text, etc..
 * Hope that helps. Please let me know if you still have any questions. I will be
   happy to help you.
 * Kind Regards.

 * I now see how it works and it is not what I thought it was. I won’t need this
   feature.

 * The way the fixed first column works right now is to lock it in place horizontally.
   As someone scrolls horizontally in a table, the first column remains in place.
   However, it will move vertically if a user scrolls the table vertically.
 * I wanted the first column to remain in place **VERTICALLY**, so as a user scrolled
   a table vertically, the first column would remain in place at the left.
 * I know this is an unusual way to do this, but I have an unusual application for
   the table. It will have only two columns (three if this new first column option
   comes to be) but it will have about 8,000 rows. You can see a testing page for
   this project [HERE](https://rpmelvin.com/diarytest/).
