I need to freeze the header of the gridview using the following css :

  .container
        {
            overflow: auto;
        }
        /* Keep the header cells positioned as we scroll */
        .container table th
        {
           position: relative; 
        }
        /* For alignment of the scroll bar */
        .container table tbody
        {
            overflow-x: hidden;
        }

body of the grid scroll well but,
my gridview header is not scrolled on y axis.

my grid view code as follow.

<asp:gridview id="RadGrid1" runat="server" borderstyle="None" borderwidth="1px"
    gridlines="Both" autogeneratecolumns="true" onrowcommand="OnSelectedChanged"
    rowstyle-wrap="false" rowstyle-cssclass="container" 
    onrowdatabound="RadGrid1_RowDataBound" datakeynames="DocID,DocumentName">
      <headerstyle cssclass="container" backcolor="LightBlue" wrap="false"    
          horizontalalign="Center" verticalalign="Middle" />
