I have seen it done before, but I don't have the URL.

OTTOMH: simplified version, untested:

thead {position: fixed;}

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th></th> etc.
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td></td></tr> etc.
</tbody>

Won't work in IE, of course. :-( You may even be able to get rid of the
<div> and just add tbody {height: 20em; overflow: scroll;} to your CSS.
Again, not tested. :-)
