I have to make fixed header of first row .. I m adding style="position:fixed" to every cell of first row. but not getting output ..How it possible

Answer 1

Hey you can even use a simple jquery function which would give you the result without changing you html code

var tdWidth = $("#tableAppointment tbody tr td").width();
$("#tableAppointment thead").css({'position': 'fixed','top': '0','left': '-0.2%', 'background-color': '#f94d4d','color': '#FFFFFF','text-align': 'center','width': '100%'});

$("#tableAppointment thead tr th").width(tdWidth);

the working example is jsfiddle

I have created the simple coding for your question.,Please refer the following to see it in action : http://jsfiddle.net/john_rock/h6hfX/1/

HTML Part :

<table>
<thead>
<tr><th>Head1</th><th>Head2</th><th>Head3</th><th>Head4</th><th>Head5</th><th>Head6</th></tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<tr><td>Foot1</td><td>Foot2</td><td>Foot3</td><td>Foot4</td><td>Foot5</td><td>Foot6</td></tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody>
<tr><td>r1c1</td><td>r1c2</td><td>r1c3</td><td>r1c4</td><td>r1c5</td><td>r1c6</td></tr>
<tr><td>r2c1</td><td>r2c2</td><td>r2c3</td><td>r2c4</td><td>r2c5</td><td>r2c6</td></tr>
<tr><td>r3c1</td><td>r3c2</td><td>r3c3</td><td>r3c4</td><td>r3c5</td><td>r3c6</td></tr>

thead {background-color:#000268;color:#FFFFFF;text-align:center; position:fixed; top:0px;}
thead th { height:50px; width:120px; text-align:center;border-width: 1px;border-style: outset;}
tbody {color:#000000;text-align:center; height:150px; overflow: scroll; margin:0px;}
tbody td { height:60px; width:100px;border-width: 1px;border-style: outset;}
