This works for tables produced with kableExtra which is useful when inspecting long tables. I was wondering if anyone has an idea how this may be doable with huxtable.

Here's an example Rmd to get an idea of what I mean. I'd like the huxtable header to be fixed at the top of the page when scrolling down just like in the kable.

output: bookdown::html_document2
---

```{r lib}
library(magrittr)
```

```{r kable}
iris %>%
  head(20) %>%
  kableExtra::kbl(caption = "a caption") %>%
  kableExtra::kable_styling(fixed_thead = TRUE)
```

```{r huxtable}
iris %>%
  head(33) %>%
  huxtable::hux() %>%
  huxtable::set_caption("a caption")
```

Simply set position: sticky for each th element of huxtable tables.

  huxtable::set_caption("a caption")

```{=html}
<style>

table.huxtable th {
  position: sticky;
  top: 0;
  background: white;
}

</style>
