I have the following table structure:

<table>   
<thead>   
    <tr>   
        <th colspan="4">Current</th>   
        <th colspan="4">New/Requested</th>   
    </tr>   
    <tr>   
        <th nowrap="nowrap">RSD &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>  
        <th nowrap="nowrap">CRSD &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>   
        <th nowrap="nowrap">MSD &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>   
        <th nowrap="nowrap">Open QTY &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>   
        <th nowrap="nowrap">CRD &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>   
        <th nowrap="nowrap">CRSD &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>  
        <th nowrap="nowrap">MSD &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>   
        <th nowrap="nowrap">Open QTY &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>   
        <th nowrap="nowrap">Action</th>   
        <th nowrap="nowrap">Reason</th>   
        <th nowrap="nowrap">Action Code Status </th>   
    </tr> 
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td></td>  
            <td></td>   
            .....plenty of rows
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</thead>   
</table>

I am trying to fix the header so that if I scroll down it stays visible. I looked at this post but couldn't understand it. How can I do this?

The best option which worked for me is adding the following css properties to the th class in stylesheet.

th 
{
position: -webkit-sticky;
position: sticky;
top: 0px;
z-index: 5;
}
