+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...

+
+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.

+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!
