I have a HTML table which is scrollable horizontally but not vertically
I want to fix the Header of the table to top as you scroll down but when i use position:sticky on the element along with overflow-x:scroll on the parent it doesn't stick.
here is an example fiddle of the problem https://jsfiddle.net/a53exv28/8/
please check my snippet, i did it with position sticky also u need to specify wrapper div height and set scroll-y property to scroll. check below code for reference.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>data table demo</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
.fixed-table-wrap {
display: block;
width: 100%;
overflow-x: auto;
overflow-y: scroll;
height: calc(100vh);
-ms-overflow-style: -ms-autohiding-scrollbar;
}
.fixed-table-wrap table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
.fixed-table-wrap table th,
.fixed-table-wrap table td {
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid #c3c3c3;
}
.fixed-table-wrap table th {
position: sticky;
position: -webkit-sticky;
top: 0px;
z-index: 99;
border-right: 1px solid #798ba9 !important;
background-color: #c3c3c3;
}
.fixed-table-wrap table th::after {
content: "";
display: inline-block;
width: 1px;
background-color: #aba8a8;
position: absolute;
right: -1px;
height: 40px;
top: 0px;
}
</style>

</html>Maybe you cant set table heading fixed in horizontal, but you can do this
.table-wrapper {
overflow-x:scroll;
overflow-y:visible;
width:250px;
margin-left: 120px;
}
td, th {
padding: 5px 20px;
width: 100px;
}
th:first-child {
position: fixed;
left: 5px
}<div class="table-wrapper">
<table id="consumption-data" class="data">
<thead class="header">
<tr>
<th>Month</th>
<th>Item 1</th>
<th>Item 2</th>
<th>Item 3</th>
