At times it can be useful to ensure that column titles will remain always visible on a table, even when a user scrolls down a table. The FixedHeader plug-in for DataTables will float the 'thead' element above the table at all times to help address this issue. The column titles also remain click-able to perform sorting. Key features include:

To use FixedHeader, first download DataTables ( http://datatables.net/download ) and place the unzipped FixedHeader package into a `extensions` directory in the DataTables package. This will allow the pages in the examples to operate correctly. To see the examples running, open the `examples` directory in your web-browser.

$(document).ready( function () {
|
21
|
var table = $('#example').dataTable();
|

|
new $.fn.dataTable.FixedHeader( table );

} );
