Bootstrap layout with fixed-navbar. Having table with so many rows in body.

This can now be done without JS, just pure CSS. So, anyone trying to do this for modern browsers should look into using position: sticky instead.
Currently, both Edge and Chrome have a bug where position: sticky doesn't work on thead or tr elements, however it's possible to use it on th elements, so all you need to do is just add this to your code:
th {
position: sticky;
top: 50px; /* 0px if you don't have a navbar, but something is required */
background: white;
}
Note: you'll need a background color for them, or you'll be able to see through the sticky title bar.
This has very good browser support.
Demo with your code (HTML unaltered, above 5 lines of CSS added, all JS removed):
body {
padding-top:50px;
}
table.floatThead-table {
border-top: none;
border-bottom: none;
background-color: #fff;
}
th {
position: sticky;
top: 50px;
background: white;
}<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//">
