Hey,

I am creating a plugin to have "header position fixed" in Data table .

In order to do that -

1. 

I added a id ("header\_dash\_fixed\_pos") in file - src/ui/public/doc\_table/doc\_table.html

 (line 6)
1. In plugin folder - index.js file

module.exports = function(kibana) {  
return new kibana.Plugin({  
uiExports: {  
visTypes: ['plugins/kbn-data-table-fixed-header/fixed-position\_new']  
}  
});  
};

1. in fixed-position\_new.js file

define(function(require) {  
require('jquery');

require(["plugins/kbn-data-table-fixed-header/jquery.floatThead"], function() {  
var $table = $('table#header\_dash\_fixed\_pos'); // NOT WORKING  
$table.floatThead(); / // NOT WORKING  
});

});

Somehow these 2 lines not executing.

var $table = $('table#header\_dash\_fixed\_pos');  
$table.floatThead();

and as result i don't see fixed header.

However when i put this code in console of the browser it start working.

I am not sure where i am making mistake. It looks like either src/ui/public/doc\_table/doc\_table.html this file is not loading first or my file loading first.

How to fix this issue.

I am very new to plugin development. Now sure what else to do.

Thanks in advance.
