Since you're using IE6, 'position: fixed' in CSS won't work - IE doesn't
support it.

If you *really* want to do this, the only way I can think of doing this is
to position the absolutely, and use javascript to adjust its top
dynamically (there's scripts that do that with menu DIVs all over the net -
same sort of idea). Ugly, and obviously won't work if you've got scripting
disabled.

Just repeat the header rows every so often?
