Fixed table header with bootstrap
I'm having a conflict because my header is only fixed when I take the div with the table-responsive class, but I need it to have the table overflow. Can someone help me?

table-responsive makes the table container to be scrollable horizontally and it will become the nearest ancestor that has scrolling mechanism for the sticky header. According to the documentation, an element with position sticky will only stick to the nearest ancestor with the scrolling mechanism, in this case it would be the table container rather than the window as we wanted.

table-responsive features overflow: auto;, hence, why your header is not staying sticky.
"A stickily positioned element is an element whose computed position value is sticky. It's treated as relatively positioned until its containing block crosses a specified threshold (such as setting top to value other than auto) within its flow root (or the container it scrolls within), at which point it is treated as "stuck" until meeting the opposite edge of its containing block."
I would try this setup as an alternative. It doesn't have the problematic table-responsive class. However, the header is sticky and the table is still responsive as it was with the responsive class.
