Answer 1

This is a common layout problem in IE. If you are using CSS to style the columns width, also add the column widths to the td tags. Set the first column to a percentage that will try to suck up most of the space, like 50% or something. The first column width will take everything that it can and the other columns will abide by their static width.

Answer 2

Is there an easy way to freeze the column headers using this plug-in?

Thanks
