# FixedHeader
  
  At times it can be useful to ensure that column titles will remain always visible on a table, even when a user scrolls down a table. The FixedHeader plug-in for DataTables will float the 'thead' element above the table at all times to help address this issue. The column titles also remain click-able to perform sorting. Key features include:
  
  * Fix the header to the top of the window
  * Ability to fix the footer and left / right columns as well
  * z-Index ordering options
  
  
  # Installation
  
  To use FixedHeader, first download DataTables ( http://datatables.net/download ) and place the unzipped FixedHeader package into a `extensions` directory in the DataTables package. This will allow the pages in the examples to operate correctly. To see the examples running, open the `examples` directory in your web-browser.
  
  
  # Basic usage
  
  FixedHeader is initialised using the `$.fn.dataTable.FixedHeader()` object. For example:
  
  ```js
  $(document).ready( function () {
      var table = $('#example').dataTable();
      new $.fn.dataTable.FixedHeader( table );
  } );
  ```
