Hi Jacob,

Seems like there are a lot of ways to achieve this. Since the first time
I've looked into the HTML 4.1 spec back in 2001 I can remember that the W3C
specification makes provision for <THEAD> and <TBODY> or something like
that, and that there is either a property to cause the header to stay at the
top, or it happens automatically.

It's crazy if that table behaviour has not yet been implemented, 10 years
down the line! You'll probably find it works perfect in those reference
browser implementations of the W3C.

Anyways, when you've found a good solution, please let us know what it is.

Cheers
