Things this plugin does:

---

• Works on tables within a scrollable container or whole window scrolling
• Works with responsive table wrappers
• Works with dynamically hidden/added/removed columns
• Does not clone the thead - so your events stay bound
• Does what position:fixed cannot do (and on browsers that do not support it)
• Does not mess with your styles, and doesnt require any css (see fixed vs absolute position modes)
• Works with border-collapse variants, weird margins, padding and borders
• Works with libs like datatables, perfect-scrollbar, bootstrap3, and many more
• Header can be floated with position:absolute which adds a wrapper, or position:fixed which does not. Both have their pros and cons. By default the best option is chosen based on your configuration

Things this plugin does NOT do:

---

• Does not float the footer
• Does not let you lock the first column like in excel
• Safari and mobile safari are not supported. It might work, or it might not, depending on your markup and safari version.

Common Pitfalls

If you use css and html best practices, this plugin will work. If you are stuck in 1999, you better read the faq.
