This is yet another jQuery plugin to provide fixed headers for tables. It differs in the way that it does not require any odd html table semantics. It just needs a TABLE tag with THEAD and TBODY to work its magic.
How it works?
Simple. It takes a TABLE, pulls the THEAD and TBODY out of it and puts them into two separate DIVs. Now, the DIV which THEAD (header-div) goes is overflow restricted. The DIV the TBODY (content-div) goes to allows vertical overflow. That's it. Since the content-div can have a vertical scroll bar, the header-div cant. We have our table with fixed header. Thats it. The plugin takes care of aligning the columns. So, as a plugin user, you dont have to worry about the alignment.
