Tailwind css table with fixed header and scrolling tbody vertically


I have the code below for a table based on tailwind css.

If I remove the block class, the table is not scrollable anymore.

Adding the block class to tbody breaks the thead. See Images attached.

Without block class in tbody (disables scroll) enter image description here

With block class in tbody (scroll works but header breaks)

Solution

  • You could add a max-height to your table's parent div and
    set position:sticky and top:0 for your thead

    <div class="table-wrp block max-h-96">
      <table class="w-full">
        <thead class="bg-white border-b sticky top-0">
          <!-- table head content -->
        </thead>
        <tbody class="h-96 overflow-y-auto">
          <!-- table body content -->
        </tbody>
      </table>
    </div>
