 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Unfortunately, both of those links only return “Not found” for me, so that I 
   can’t check why the FixedHeader is not working 🙁

 * Hi,
 * thanks for that link! I assume that you want to use the Fixed Header feature 
   for the “Tomato Properties” table?
 * Unfortunately, I’ll have to disappoint you here, as that won’t be possible. The
   Fixed Header Extension requires the DataTables JS library to be enabled, but 
   that is not possible with this table, as it contains combined/merged cells (using“
   colspan”), which is not compatible with that DataTables JS library 🙁
 * Regards,
    Tobias
