I've been using this fiddle here but the only problem is some of my td cells are much bigger than this example and I can't get the header cells to align with the body cells without causing the scroll bars to disappear. This is what happens when a cell is too big.
<style type="text/css">
.fieldset-auto-width
{
display: inline-block;
}
html
{
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 10pt;
line-height: 25px;
}
table
{
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 1000px;
overflow-x: scroll;
display: block;
}
thead
{
background-color: #EFEFEF;
}
thead, tbody
{
display: block;
}
tbody
{
overflow-y: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
height: 140px;
}
td, th
{
min-width: 150px;
height: 25px;
border: solid 1px black;
}
table.big td th
{
width: 200px;
}
</style>
<table>

$('table').on('scroll', function () {
$("table > *").width($("table").width() + $("table").scrollLeft());
});
I noticed when I take out "display: block;" it causes the headers and body cells to match, but that breaks the scroll bars. I tried this display: grouping element but that also breaks the scrolls. I tried setting the width in the particularly large cells but it had no effect, I tried making a class and putting the class in the and cells but it also had no effect, it almost feels impossible to fix. Can someone please help me?
