I accomplished something similar using jQuery Waypoints   There s a lot of moving parts  and quite a bit of logic  that I hope to get on GitHub some day soon   but essentially what you could do is      Duplicate the table DOM structure in JavaScript and add a class called fixed  Add styles for table fixed that make it invisible  Set a way point at the bottom of the header navigation that adds a class called sticky to table fixed Add styles for table sticky fixed that position it just below the navbar and also make just the thead content visible  This also has a z-index so it is laid above the rest of the content  Add another waypoint  but in the downward scroll event  that removes  sticky from the table fixed   You have to duplicate the entire table DOM in order to ensure column widths line up appropriately   If that sounds really complicated  you might want to try playing around with the DataTables plugin and the FixedHeader extension  https   datatables net extensions fixedheader

If you want to have an affix on your header you can use this tricks  add position  relative on your th and change the position in eventListener  scroll    I have created an example  https   codesandbox io s rl1jjx0o  I use vue js but you can use this  without vue js

I faced the same issue and as majority of the answers indicated  you have to apply position  sticky  and top  0    mostly but can vary if there is a navbar which is fixed as well  to  th  element  These properties do not apply to thead or tr    One more thing  if it still doesn t work  you have to look for  overflow  properties of the parent  If any parent component has an overflow set  i e  overflow  hidden  then position  sticky just doesn t work  Make sure to remove all such parent properties  Chao

Anyone looking for this functionality past 2018  it s much cleaner to do this with just CSS using position  sticky  position  sticky doesn t work with some table elements  thead tr  in Chrome  You can move sticky to tds ths of tr you need to be sticky  Like this  thead tr nth-child 1  th     background  white    position  sticky    top  0    z-index  10

This can now be done without JS  just pure CSS  So  anyone trying to do this for modern browsers should look into using position  sticky instead   Currently  both Edge and Chrome have a bug where position  sticky doesn t work on thead or tr elements  however it s possible to use it on th elements  so all you need to do is just add this to your code   th     position  sticky    top  50px      0px if you don t have a navbar  but something is required      background  white      Note  you ll need a background color for them  or you ll be able to see through the sticky title bar   This has very good browser support   Demo with your code  HTML unaltered  above 5 lines of CSS added  all JS removed     x000D   x000D  body   x000D      padding-top 50px  x000D    x000D  table

Here is a jsfiddle HERE  not created by me  that does what you are looking for with pure css in a table   The thing to note here is the th header is set to a height of 0  Inside each th is and absolute positioned div that puts the header above the table and the scollable div that the table is in    lt thead gt     lt tr gt       lt th gt   lt div gt   lt  div gt  lt  th gt       lt th gt First Name lt div gt First Name lt  div gt  lt  th gt       lt th gt Last Name lt div gt Last Name lt  div gt  lt  th gt       lt th gt Username lt div gt Username lt  div gt  lt  th gt     lt  tr gt   lt  thead gt
