Usually you get better results if you post what you tried. Something about it being less of a handout and more of a "you almost had it, it's this." Regardless, your question is a little odd. Is all you want a fixed header with the rest of the table scrolling? If that's the case, [dupe](http://stackoverflow.com/q/17067294/5116879) — abluejelly, Jan 06 '16 at 02:36

Your tbody must have a height and an overflow rule to activate the scrollbar. Meanwhile your thead must be positioned

.wrap-scroll thead {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
}

.wrap-scroll {
   height: 106px;
   overflow-y: auto;
}
