Creating a sticky header and columns is not possible with plugin built in features, but one of our customers made this possible. We did not get a chance to test it, so you can try if is working for you.
He actually created a fixed header and column using translation of x and y (no absolute or fixed position used), and here's one solution, take a look:
First of all, you gotta set the z-index for each component below:
And here's the scrollBlock() part, it is ugly though, but it works for me though. (noted: the numbers work for my theme, if it is not working correctly on yours, then try to adjust the number until it fits.)
function scrollBlock(){ var table = document.querySelector('table'); var top = table.getBoundingClientRect().top; top = document.body.className.search('admin') > 0 ? top - 32 : top + 3; // this value can change var left = table.getBoundingClientRect().left; if(left >= 20){ // before scrolling left (before transforming) if(top >= 0){ // before reaching header bar jQuery("#table_1 thead th").css("transform", "translateY(0px)"); translate(jQuery("table th:nth-child(1)"), 0, 0); translate(jQuery("table td:nth-child(1)"), 0, 0); } else{ // after reaching header bar jQuery("#table_1 thead th").css("transform", "translateY( " + (-top) + "px)"); translate(jQuery("table th:nth-child(1)"), 0, -top); translate(jQuery("table td:nth-child(1)"), 0, 0); } } else{ // after scrolling left if(top >= 0){ jQuery("#table_1 thead th").css("transform", "translateY(0px)"); translate(jQuery("table th:nth-child(1)"), -left + 46, 0); translate(jQuery("table td:nth-child(1)"), -left + 46, 0); } else{ jQuery("#table_1 thead th").css("transform", "translateY( " + (-top) + "px)"); translate(jQuery("table th:nth-child(1)"), -left + 46, -top); translate(jQuery("table td:nth-child(1)"), -left + 46, 0); } } }
function translate(element, x, y) { var translation = "translate(" + x + "px," + y + "px)" element.css({ "transform": translation, "-ms-transform": translation, "-webkit-transform": translation, "-o-transform": translation, "-moz-transform": translation, });
}
It is kind of messy, you definitely can't copy and paste and expect it to work for you. You need to spend some time to figure it out.
Hello,
How can I freeze header of the table and to make rest of the data scrollable
Many Thanks

Then you gotta add listener on scroll like this:
If your table is set to be scrollable, then you might want to add this in as well:
