Bootstrap 4 table with the scrollable body and header fixed

enter image description hereenter image description here I am new to front-end-development. Here I have the following table:

  <div className="table-responsive">
    <table className="table table-hover" id="job-table">
      <thead>
        <tr className="text-center">
          <th scope="col">Sr.No.</th>
          <th scope="col">Company Name</th>
          <th scope="col">Technology</th>
          <th scope="col">Total Resumes</th>
          <th scope="col">Job Title</th>
          <th scope="col">Total Score</th>
          <th scope="col">Average Score</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody className="text-center">
        {this.props.list && this.props.list.content && this.props.list.content.length > 0 && this.props.list.content.map((item, key) => {
          return (
            <tr key={key}>
              <td className="font-weight-bold">1</td>
              <td className="font-weight-bold">ABCDED</td>
              <td>Software Developer</td>
              <td className="font-weight-bold">17</td>
              <td>5 years experience</td>
              <td className="font-weight-bold">30</td>
              <td className="font-weight-bold">30</td>
            </tr>
          )
        })}
      </tbody>
    </table>
  </div>

In this I have used the table-responsive class. I have tried to make this table scrollable by using this:

tbody { height: 400px; overflow-y: scroll }

But this is not working.

One other thing about the content of the td, if it is large the other rows gets affected. How can I avoid this scenario?

use position : sticky at and top : 0

th {
  background: white;
  position: sticky;
  top: 0; /* Don't forget this, required for the stickiness */
}

Try using flex, it should be compatible with table-responsive: 

table {
    display: flex;
    flex-flow: column;
    width: 100%;
}

thead {
    flex: 0 0 auto;
}

tbody {
    flex: 1 1 auto;
    display: block;
    overflow-y: auto;
    overflow-x: hidden;
}

tr {
    width: 100%;
    display: table;
    table-layout: fixed;
}

Hope this will help

add display:block to the table to fix this

tbody{height: 400px; overflow-y: scroll;display:block;}
th { position: sticky; top: 0; }

Can set fixed header by using position: sticky.

Check the sample code.

Here set the height to the main container.

.table-responsive{height:400px;overflow:scroll;}

Set the postion sticky to the tr-> th.

thead tr:nth-child(1) th{background: white; position: sticky;top: 0;z-index: 10;}
