NOTE!

This widget can be applied to the original plugin. The code is in the "jquery.tablesorter.widgets.js" file.
Scroll down the page to see the headers stick. Then sort the columns using the sticky headers!
Added widgetOptions.stickyHeader option which contains the css class name applied to the actual sticky header. New! v2.1
Multiple rows in the header will become sticky. New! v2.1.17
For the sticky header to work properly if any <TD>'s are included within the header:
- Set the selectorHeaders option to thead th, thead td.
- The <TD> may not be styled properly, so CSS changes may be needed.
- To prevent the <TD> from being sortable, add a sorter-false class name.
Add the class name sticky-false to any header rows you don't want to become sticky. New! v2.1.18
Because of an issue with jQuery version 1.2.6 causing an error, this widget needs at least jQuery version 1.3+ in order to work.
Because of the limitations of Internet Explorer version 7 and older, this widget will not work.
