After searching a lot, I came across this plugin: Fixed Header Tables. I guess I followed the instructions as given in the main website, but I was not able to make it working.

Well, I wanted to make a normal table function like fixed top row and left column. So I thought of using this plugin. But ultimately, it creates a shadow div, but doesn't seem to scroll, or fix to the defined size.

I also don't know where to send the sizes. Here is what I have till now:

If you see the snippet, it is not enclosing into the 150 px x 235 px dimensions. Where am I going wrong.

You are missing the defaultTheme.css file (or any theme file)

$(document).ready(function () {
  $("table").fixedHeaderTable({ footer: true, cloneHeadToFoot: true, fixedColumn: true, height: 300  });
});
* {font-family: Segoe UI;}
body {font-size: 80%;}
table {}
th {text-align: left;}
