+# Please Make Your Table Headings Sticky
+
+2024-02-23
+
+I often stumble upon large data sets or table layouts across the web. When these tables contain hundreds of rows of content, things become problematic once you start to scroll...
+
+[Link to video example](/public/videos/not-fixed-header-tables.mp4)
+
+Look at that table header disappear! Now, if I scroll all the way down to item #300 (for example) will I remember what each column's data is associated with? If this is my first time looking at this table - probably not. Luckily we can fix this (no pun intended!) with a tiny amount of CSS.
+
+## Sticky Header
+
+Check it out:
+
+ <video width="100%" controls>
+  <source src="/public/videos/fixed-header-tables.mp4" type="video/mp4">
+Your browser does not support the video tag.
+</video> 
+
+Pretty awesome, right? It might look like magic but it's actually very easy to implement. You only need to add 2 CSS properties on your `thead`:
+
+    position: sticky;
+    top: 0;
+
+That's it! Best of all, `sticky` has [~96% global support](https://caniuse.com/?search=sticky) which means this isn't some "bleeding-edge" property and can safely support a ton of browsers. Not to mention the improved experience for your end-users!

+You can view a live demo of this table on the [CodePen example pen](https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/pen/bGZyJBj).
