When these tables contain hundreds of rows of content, things become problematic once you start to scroll…</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’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 “fixed” table headers video</a></p> +<p>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 <code>thead</code>:</p> +<pre><code>position: sticky; +top: 0; +</code></pre> +<p>That’s it! Best of all, <code>sticky</code> has <a href="https://caniuse.com/?search=sticky">~96% global support</a> 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!</p> +<p>You can view a live demo of this table on the <a href="https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/pen/bGZyJBj">CodePen example pen</a>.</p> +<p>If you found this interesting, feel free to check out my other table-focused post: <a href="/posts/tables/">Making Tables Responsive With Minimal CSS</a></p> +<footer role="contentinfo"> + <h2>Menu Navigation</h2> + <ul id="menu"> + <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> + <li><a href="/projects">Projects</a></li> + <li><a href="/uses">Uses</a></li> + <li><a href="/wiki">Wiki</a></li> + <li><a href="/resume">Resume</a></li> + <li><a href="/colophon">Colophon</a></li> + <li><a href="/now">Now</a></li> + <li><a href="/donate">Donate</a></li> + <li><a href="/atom.xml">RSS</a></li> + <li><a href="#top">↑ Top of the page</a></li> + </ul> + <small> + Built with <a href="https://barf.btxx.org">barf</a>. <br> + Feeds: <a href="/atom.xml">Atom</a> & <a href="/rss.xml">RSS</a><br> + Maintained with ♥ for the web. <br> + Proud supporter of <a href="https://usefathom.com/ref/DKHJVX">Fathom</a> & <a href="https://nextdns.io/?from=74d3p3h8">NextDNS</a>. <br> + The content for this site is <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">CC-BY-SA</a>.<br> The <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht">code for this site</a> is <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht/tree/master/item/LICENSE">MIT</a>. + </small> +</footer>
