+<p>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&#8230;</p>
+<p><a href="/public/videos/not-fixed-header-tables.mp4">Click here to see standard table headers video</a></p>
+<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
+<h2 id="sticky-header">Sticky Header</h2>
+<p>Check it out:</p>
+<p><a href="/public/videos/fixed-header-tables.mp4">Click here to see &#8220;fixed&#8221; table headers video</a></p>
+<p>Pretty awesome, right? It might look like magic but it&#8217;s actually very easy to implement. You only need to add 2 CSS properties on your <code>thead</code>:</p>
+<pre><code>position: sticky;
+top: 0;
+</code></pre>
+<p>That&#8217;s it! Best of all, <code>sticky</code> has <a href="https://caniuse.com/?search=sticky">~96% global support</a> which means this isn&#8217;t some &#8220;bleeding-edge&#8221; property and can safely support a ton of browsers. Not to mention the improved experience for your end-users!</p>
