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?
I haven't thought about that, but it doesn't seem to work in practice.

I have successfully used that in Firefox.

As usual, it requires a non-broken browser -- see jishi's comment.

A:
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;}
Opera 7.5 and IE 5 won't repeat headers no matter what you try.

Neither does Flying Saucer, which I am using to generate a PDF. I will also ask this question on the Flying Saucer mailing list to see if there is another way to do this.

A:
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.)
