CSS - sticky table headers

Question

I have a code pen here - Code

It's a table in a container, the table is bigger than the container.

When scrolling left to right the table and the headers move

When scrolling up and down I need the header to be sticky and the content to move underneath.

It sort of works here - Code

but I lose the widths of the columns and the table.

How do I make the headers sticky but keep the width of the table

body{
  background: grey;
  font-family: sans-serif;
}
.page{
  background: white;
  width: 1200px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}
.table-con{
  overflow: scroll;
  max-width: 1200px;
  height: 500px;
} 

table{
  /*table-layout: fixed;*/
  border-collapse: collapse; 
  width: 1500px;
}

thead th:first-child{
  width: 20px;
  padding: 0;
}

thead th{
  text-align: left;
}

thead tr{
  border-bottom: 1px solid #444;
}

tbody td{
  border-bottom: 1px solid #aaa;
}

tbody tr:nth-child(even) td:not(:first-child){
  background: yellow;
}

tbody td:first-child{
  background: none;
  border: none;
  padding: 0;
}

th, td{
  padding: 10px 5px;

   &:first-of-type{
    padding-left: 20px;
  }

  &:last-of-type{
    padding-right: 20px;
  }
}

@MarcinMagdziarz datatables doesnt do fixed header + fixed column, you can check their plugin compatibility log before commenting — PirateApp, Sep 22 '18 at 05:18
