If you are interested to see how this plugin stacks up against a few others that float the table header, you've come the right place!
I found these libs on the first few pages of google and by searching stackoverflow. If you know of a good lib you would like me to include let me know on github.

jquery.fixedheadertable.js

Window scrolling: (doesnt appear to be supported)

This plugin requires some styles for it to work.
I had to modify those styles to match the bootstrap look because table classes arent being copied over to the floating elements.

Doesnt appear to support this or have any options for it. Moreover, it breaks really badly if you do try it, and makes the rest of this page unusable. So i am not including it.
