Sticky Headers with Horizontal Scrolling and Pagination
This is an experimental ruleset for those who want to have more then one left fixed (sticky) headers, while the rest of table columns scroll to the right. By changing a few parameters you can implement horizontal pagination, meaning that the visitor can click on the next/previous buttons to move to the next or previous block of columns.
