Are fixed headers good?
A fixed header can give a website a polished look and has the added benefit of saving users time (since they don't have to scroll up to get back to the main navigation menu). In fact, one study found websites with sticky headers are 22% faster to navigate than other websites.
Should you use a sticky header?
When done appropriately, sticky headers allow users to quickly access the navigation, search, and utility-navigation elements without scrolling up to the top of the page. They increase the discoverability of the elements in the header and the chance that users will take advantage of them.
What does fixed header mean?
A fixed header means that as the page is scrolled down past the header, the header logo area and menu stay displayed at the top of the page, maintaining the background color you set for the header. There are several types of fixed headers, and they vary a bit by the layout you choose, as described here.
How do I fix the header when scrolling in a table?
By setting postion: sticky and top: 0, we can create a fixed header on a scroll in HTML tables.
