How to stick table header(thead) on top while scrolling down the table rows with fixed header(navbar) in bootstrap 3?
Bootstrap layout with fixed-navbar. Having table with so many rows in body.
Issue? As i scroll the page navigation-bar will be there because it is fixed. as i scroll more i want table header to be fixed under navigation-bar and the content of table(table-body) scrolls without scroll bar!

This can now be done without JS, just pure CSS. So, anyone trying to do this for modern browsers should look into using position: sticky instead.
Currently, both Edge and Chrome have a bug where position: sticky doesn't work on thead or tr elements, however it's possible to use it on th elements, so all you need to do is just add this to your code:
th {
position: sticky;
top: 50px; /* 0px if you don't have a navbar, but something is required */
background: white;
}
Note: you'll need a background color for them, or you'll be able to see through the sticky title bar.
This has very good browser support.
Demo with your code (HTML unaltered, above 5 lines of CSS added, all JS removed):
body {
padding-top:50px;
}
table.floatThead-table {
border-top: none;
border-bottom: none;
background-color: #fff;
}
th {
position: sticky;
top: 50px;
background: white;
