I've looked through questions here and articles all over the internet, but haven't found yet solution that would satisfy my requirements. So now in 2017, is there an elegant way to have a <table> that would:
- be written in html+css (no js)
- have fixed header (not scrollable; not sticky)
- have scrollable
<tbody>(scrollbar may be always visible) - header and body would handle resizing properly and not mess alignment of the
<thead>columns and the<tbody>columns - would not use nested tables or separate table for header
This solution fulfills all 5 requirements:
table {
width: 100%;
}
table, td {
border-collapse: collapse;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
thead {
display: table; /* to take the same width as tr */
width: calc(100% - 17px); /* - 17px because of the scrollbar width */
}
tbody {
display: block; /* to enable vertical scrolling */
max-height: 200px; /* e.g. */
overflow-y: scroll; /* keeps the scrollbar even if it doesn't need it; display purpose */
}
th, td {
width: 33.33%; /* to enable "word-break: break-all" */
padding: 5px;
word-break: break-all; /* 4. */
}
tr {
display: table; /* display purpose; th's border */
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box; /* because of the border (Chrome needs this line, but not FF) */
}
td {
text-align: center;
border-bottom: none;
border-left: none;
}<table>

</table>Chrome, FF, Edge
the simplest solution is to use th { position: sticky; top: 0; }
/* JUST COMMON TABLE STYLES... */
table { border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; }
th, td { background: #fff; padding: 8px 16px; }
.tableFixHead {
overflow: auto;
height: 100px;
}
.tableFixHead thead th {
position: sticky;

</table>
</div>IE11
To sloppily support IE11 (2.5% market share as of 10/2018), a bit jaggy but at least THs are on top - you could add this JavaScript:
function isIE() {
return navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE') > -1 || navigator.appVersion.indexOf('Trident/') > -1
}
if (isIE()) {
// Fix table head
function tableFixHead(ths) {
var sT = this.scrollTop;
[].forEach.call(ths, function(th) {
th.style.transform = "translateY(" + sT + "px)";
});
}
[].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll(".tableFixHead"), function(el) {
var ths = el.querySelectorAll("thead th");
el.addEventListener("scroll", tableFixHead.bind(el, ths));
});
}
which will (since IE ignores sticky position) use transform translateY to position the TH elements.
PS: the above JS (without the wrapping if statement) works pretty decently for all other evergreen browsers too - in case position: sticky; does not fits your needs...

I've created a fiddle below
Short Answer: No, not possible.
VXp's answer is interesting but doesn't work as you might expect. It has 2 issues:
- The table width must be set to specific fixed width, you cannot have dynamic width with this solution. That's why he set the width to 600px of the table.
- If any cell has long text, the whole layout will break (improperly aligned columns).
Same thing for Jon's answer.
I discourage using fixed table head, but if you really want to do this with the set of rules you enumerated (the 5 rules you mentioned), the only solution is using js/jQuery.
