Simple! In FireFox it's enough to simply use <thead> and <th> tags and
to get the same effect in IE all you need is a bit of CSS. Like so:
<html><head><title></title>
<style type='text/css'>
thead{display:table-header-group}
</style>
</head><body>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>col1</th>
<th>col2</th>
<th>col3</th>
<th>col4</th>
<th>col5</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>x1</td>
<td>x2</td>
<td>x3</td>
<td>x4</td>
<td>x5</td>
</tr>
..........alot of rows...........
</tbody>
</table></body></html>
