CssCss TablesCss Problem Overview
Is it possible in CSS using a property inside an @page to say that table headers (th) should be repeated on every page if the table spreads over multiple pages?
Css Solutions
Solution 1 - Css
Solution 2 - Css
Some browsers repeat the thead element on each page, as they are supposed to. Others need some help: Add this to your CSS:
thead {display: table-header-group;}
tfoot {display: table-footer-group;}
Opera 7.5 and IE 5 won't repeat headers no matter what you try.

Solution 3 - Css
Flying Saucer xhtmlrenderer repeats the THEAD on every page of PDF output, if you add the following to your CSS:
table {
-fs-table-paginate: paginate;
}
(It works at least since the R8 release.)

UPDATE: It looks like this may have been fixed in 2016! https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24826#c45
Original Answer (2012): Before you implement this solution it's important to know that Webkit currently doesn't do this.
Here is the relevant issue on the Chrome issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24826
And on the Webkit issue tracker: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17205
Star it on the Chrome issue tracker if you want to show that it is important to you (I did).
Solution 5 - Css
Chrome and Opera browsers do not support thead {display: table-header-group;} but rest of others support properly..
