## Sticky Header Widget

### Flexible client-side table sorting

Back to documentation

NOTE!

- As of tablesorter version 2.9+, this widget can no longer be applied to versions of tablesorter prior to version 2.8.
- Added a widget option named `stickyHeaders_cloneId` (v2.9)
  - It contains a suffix to add to any table id.
  - Its default value is `-sticky`
- To access the added sticky table content from your code without worrying about using the ID, you can use `table.config.widgetOptions.$sticky`.
- Table captions and any additional rows (filter widget row) will also be included in the sticky header (v2.9).
- You will need to modify the `headerTemplate` option to include the jQuery UI icon! See the example in the code (v2.7).
- Scroll down the page to see the headers stick. Then sort the columns using the sticky headers!
- Added a widget option named `stickyHeaders` option which contains the css class name applied to the actual sticky header (v2.1). Modified in v2.11 so that "tablesorter-stickyHeader" class is always added and this option only adds additional classes.
- Multiple rows in the header will become sticky (v2.1.17).
- The filter widget adds a row to the table header, but that row will not be included in the sticky header.
- Add the class name `sticky-false` to any header rows you don't want to become sticky (v2.1.18).
- Because of the limitations of Internet Explorer version 7 and older, this widget will not work.
