I have an html table inside a div with scroll in Y, inside the table I have a header that I want to be fixed, how can I make the header of the table stay fixed knowing that the table is inside a div.
div.tableContainer {
width: 90%; /* table width will be 99% of this*/
height: 320px; /* must be greater than tbody*/
overflow: auto;
margin: 0 auto;
}
table {
width: 97%; /*100% of container produces horiz. scroll in Mozilla*/
border: none;
border-spacing: 0px;
background-color: transparent;
}
table > tbody {
overflow: auto;
height: 280px;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
table > tbody tr {
height: auto;
}<div class="tableContainer">
<table role="table">
