Bootstrap 4 table with the scrollable body and header fixed

Question

I am new to front-end-development. Here I have the following table:

  <div className="table-responsive">
    <table className="table table-hover" id="job-table">
      <thead>
        <tr className="text-center">
          <th scope="col">Sr.No.</th>
          <th scope="col">Company Name</th>
          <th scope="col">Technology</th>
          <th scope="col">Total Resumes</th>
          <th scope="col">Job Title</th>
          <th scope="col">Total Score</th>
          <th scope="col">Average Score</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody className="text-center">
        {this.props.list && this.props.list.content && this.props.list.content.length > 0 && this.props.list.content.map((item, key) => {
          return (
            <tr key={key}>
              <td className="font-weight-bold">1</td>
              <td className="font-weight-bold">ABCDED</td>
              <td>Software Developer</td>
              <td className="font-weight-bold">17</td>
              <td>5 years experience</td>
              <td className="font-weight-bold">30</td>
              <td className="font-weight-bold">30</td>
            </tr>
          )
        })}
      </tbody>
    </table>
  </div>

In this I have used the table-responsive class. I have tried to make this table scrollable by using this:

tbody { height: 400px; overflow-y: scroll }

But this is not working.

One other thing about the content of the td, if it is large the other rows gets affected. How can I avoid this scenario?

Answer 1

Can set fixed header by using position: sticky.

Check the sample code.

Here set the height to the main container.

.table-responsive{height:400px;overflow:scroll;} 

Set the postion sticky to the tr-> th.

thead tr:nth-child(1) th{background: white; position: sticky;top: 0;z-index: 10;}
