How do I create an HTML table with a fixed/frozen left column and a scrollable body?
I need a simple solution. I know it's similar to some other questions, like:
- HTML table with fixed headers and a fixed column?
- How can I lock the first row and first column of a table when scrolling, possibly using JavaScript and CSS?
But I need just a single left column to be frozen and I would prefer a simple and script-less solution.

Yet, another complete and working example of how to make a scrolling table with a frozen column on the right side.
This example reunites the CSS techniques mentioned in this post and some basic JavaScript functionality for the row buttons using only one event handler.

If you want a table where only the columns scroll horizontally, you can position: absolute the first column (and specify its width explicitly), and then wrap the entire table in an overflow-x: scroll block. Don't bother trying this in IE7, however...
Relevant HTML & CSS:
table {
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 0;
border-top: 1px solid grey;
}
td,
th {
margin: 0;
border: 1px solid grey;
white-space: nowrap;
border-top-width: 0px;
}
div {
width: 500px;
overflow-x: scroll;
margin-left: 5em;
overflow-y: visible;
padding: 0;
}
.headcol {
position: absolute;
width: 5em;
left: 0;
top: auto;
border-top-width: 1px;
/*only relevant for first row*/
margin-top: -1px;
/*compensate for top border*/
}
.headcol:before {
content: 'Row ';
}
.long {
background: yellow;
letter-spacing: 1em;
}<div>
<table>
<tr>
<th class="headcol">1</th>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th class="headcol">2</th>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th class="headcol">3</th>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th class="headcol">4</th>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th class="headcol">5</th>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th class="headcol">6</th>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>

You can use sticky position.
Here is a sample code. This is HTML/CSS solution. No js is required.
.view {
margin: auto;
width: 600px;
}
.wrapper {
position: relative;
overflow: auto;
border: 1px solid black;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.sticky-col {
position: -webkit-sticky;
position: sticky;
background-color: white;
}
.first-col {
width: 100px;
min-width: 100px;
max-width: 100px;
left: 0px;
}
.second-col {
width: 150px;
min-width: 150px;
max-width: 150px;
left: 100px;
}<div class="view">
<div class="wrapper">
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="sticky-col first-col">Number</th>
<th class="sticky-col second-col">First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Employer</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="sticky-col first-col">1</td>
<td class="sticky-col second-col">Mark</td>
<td>Ham</td>
<td>Micro</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="sticky-col first-col">2</td>
<td class="sticky-col second-col">Jacob</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>Adob Adob Adob AdobAdob Adob Adob Adob Adob</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="sticky-col first-col">3</td>
<td class="sticky-col second-col">Larry</td>
<td>Wen</td>
<td>Goog Goog Goog GoogGoog Goog Goog Goog Goog Goog</td>
</tr>

You can just make the first column position: sticky; z-index: 9.
It will make the column/row stick to its current position.
Checkout my example codepen here https://codepen.io/swastikmishra/pen/zYYdKBQ
HTML Example
table {
text-align: center;
}
.table-container {
width: 500px;
height: 300px;
overflow: scroll;
}
table th,
table td {
white-space: nowrap;
padding: 10px 20px;
font-family: Arial;
}
table tr th:first-child,
table td:first-child {
position: sticky;
width: 100px;
left: 0;
z-index: 10;
background: #fff;
}
table tr th:first-child {
z-index: 11;
}
table tr th {
position: sticky;
top: 0;
z-index: 9;
background: #fff;
}<div class="table-container">
<table>

<th>Hello World</th>
<th>Hello World</th>

For most browsers released after 2017:
You can use the position: sticky. See https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-sticky.
There is no need for a fixed width column.
Run the code snippet below to see how it works.
.tscroll {
width: 400px;
overflow-x: scroll;
margin-bottom: 10px;
border: solid black 1px;
}
.tscroll table td:first-child {
position: sticky;
left: 0;
background-color: #ddd;
}
.tscroll td, .tscroll th {
border-bottom: dashed #888 1px;
}<html>
<div class="tscroll">

For me this was the only one that worked perfectly (thanks to Paul O'Brien!): https://codepen.io/paulobrien/pen/gWoVzN
Here's the snippet:
// requires jquery library
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(".main-table").clone(true).appendTo('#table-scroll').addClass('clone');
}); .table-scroll {
position:relative;
max-width:600px;
margin:auto;
overflow:hidden;
border:1px solid #000;
}
.table-wrap {
width:100%;
overflow:auto;
}
.table-scroll table {
width:100%;
margin:auto;
border-collapse:separate;
border-spacing:0;
}
.table-scroll th, .table-scroll td {

I just made the right-most sticky column of a table sticky.
th:last-of-type {
position: sticky;
right: 0;
width: 120px;
background: #f7f7f7;
}
td:last-of-type {
position: sticky;
right: 0;
background: #f7f7f7;
width: 120px;
}
I believe if you'll do {position: sticky; left: 0;}, you'll get the desired result.

I didn't check each and every answer for this question, but after analyzing most of them I found that design fails in case of multiline data in cells or head. I used Javascript to solve this. I hope someone finds this helpful.
https://codepen.io/kushagrarora/pen/zeYaoY
var freezeTables = document.getElementsByClassName("freeze-pane");
[].forEach.call(freezeTables, ftable => {
var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
wrapper.className = "freeze-pane-wrapper";
var scroll = document.createElement("div");
scroll.className = "freeze-pane-scroll";
wrapper.appendChild(scroll);
ftable.parentNode.replaceChild(wrapper, ftable);
scroll.appendChild(ftable);
var heads = ftable.querySelectorAll("th:first-child");
let maxWidth = 0;
[].forEach.call(heads, head => {
var w = window
.getComputedStyle(head)
.getPropertyValue("width")
.split("px")[0];
if (Number(w) > Number(maxWidth)) maxWidth = w;
});
ftable.parentElement.style.marginLeft = maxWidth + "px";
ftable.parentElement.style.width = "calc(100% - " + maxWidth + "px)";
[].forEach.call(heads, head => {
head.style.width = maxWidth + "px";
var restRowHeight = window
.getComputedStyle(head.nextElementSibling)
.getPropertyValue("height");
var headHeight = window.getComputedStyle(head).getPropertyValue("height");
if (headHeight > restRowHeight)
head.nextElementSibling.style.height = headHeight;
else head.style.height = restRowHeight;
});

A little late but I did run across this thread when trying out solutions for myself. Assuming you're using modern browsers nowadays, I came up with a solution using CSS calc() to help guarantee widths met up.
.table-fixed-left table,
.table-fixed-right table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
.table-fixed-right td,
.table-fixed-right th,
.table-fixed-left td,
.table-fixed-left th {
border: 1px solid #ddd;
padding: 5px 5px;
}
.table-fixed-left {
width: 120px;
float: left;
position: fixed;
overflow-x: scroll;
white-space: nowrap;
text-align: left;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
z-index: 2;
}
.table-fixed-right {
width: calc(100% - 145px);
right: 15px;
position: fixed;
overflow-x: scroll;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.table-fixed-right td,
.table-fixed-right th {
padding: 5px 10px;
}<div class="table-fixed-left">
<table>
<tr>
<th>Normal Header</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Header with extra line
<br/> </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Normal Header</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Normal with extra line
<br/> </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Normal Header</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Normal Header</th>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="table-fixed-right">
<table>
<tr>
<th>Header</th>
<th>Another header</th>
<th>Header</th>
<th>Header really really really really long</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Info Long</td>

In HTML5, you can use CSS style.transform.
However, i reccomend you "swipe between pages" turn off If you implement on Mac.
let l = 0;
let t = 0;
const MouseWheelHandler = (e) => {
// vertical scroll
if (e.deltaX == -0) {
// t = t - e.deltaY
// horizonal scroll
} else if (e.deltaY == -0) {
l = l - e.deltaX
if (l >= 0) {
l = 0;
document.getElementById("gantt_task").style.transform = "translateX(1px)"
document.getElementById("gantt_task_header").style.transform = "translateX(1px)"
return false
}
document.getElementById("gantt_task").style.transform = "translateX(" + l.toString() + "px)"
document.getElementById("gantt_task_header").style.transform = "translateX(" + l.toString() + "px)"
}
return false;
}
window.addEventListener("wheel", MouseWheelHandler, false);.row {
border-bottom: 1px solid #979A9A
}
#gantt_grid_header {

Here is another modification of the most popular answer, but with handling of variable length of text in the first column labels: http://jsfiddle.net/ozx56n41/
Basically, I'm using the second column for creating row height, like was mentioned. But my fiddle actually works unlike most mentioned above.
HTML:
<div id="outerdiv">
<div id="innerdiv">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="headcol"><div>This is a long label</div></td>
<td class="hiddenheadcol"><div>This is a long label</div></td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="headcol"><div>Short label</div></td>
<td class="hiddenheadcol"><div>Short label</div></td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
body {
font: 16px Calibri;
}
#outerdiv {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
width: 100%;
border-top: 1px solid grey;
}
#innerdiv {
overflow-x: scroll;
margin-left: 100px;
overflow-y: visible;
padding-bottom: 1px;
}
table {
border-collapse:separate;
}
td {
margin: 0;
border: 1px solid grey;
border-top-width: 0;
border-left-width: 0px;

}
td.headcol {
/* Frozen 1st column */

If you're developing something more complicated and want multiple columns to be fixed/stuck to the left, you'll probably need something like this.
.wrapper {
overflow-x: scroll;
}
td {
min-width: 50px;
}
.fixed {
position: absolute;
background: #aaa;
}<div class="content" style="width: 400px">
<div class="wrapper" style="margin-left: 100px">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="fixed" style="left: 0px">aaa</th>
<th class="fixed" style="left: 50px">aaa2</th>
<th>a</th>

Eamon Nerbonne, I changed some css in your code and it's better now(the scroll bar starts from the first row)
I just add two line :
.div : padding-left:5em;
.headcol : background-color : #fff;

No need to add any plugin, CSS can do this job !!!
The idea is to make the position of all the first cells in each column absolute, and make width fixed. Ex:
max-width: 125px;
min-width: 125px;
position: absolute;
This hides some parts of some columns under the first column, so add an empty second column (add second empty td) with width same as the first column.
I tested and this works in Chrome and Firefox.

//If the table has tbody and thead, make them the relative container in which we can fix td and th as absolute
table tbody {
position: relative;
}
table thead {
position: relative;
}
//Make both the first header and first data cells (First column) absolute so that it sticks to the left
table td:first-of-type {
position: absolute;
}
table th:first-of-type {
position: absolute;
}
//Move Second column according to the width of column 1
table td:nth-of-type(2) {
padding-left: <Width of column 1>;
}
table th:nth-of-type(2) {
padding-left: <Width of column 1>;
}

In case of fixed width left column the best solution is provided by Eamon Nerbonne.
In case of variable width left column the best solution I found is to make two identical tables and push one above another. Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/xG5QH/6/.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
/* important styles */
.container {
/* Attach fixed-th-table to this container,
in order to layout fixed-th-table
in the same way as scolled-td-table" */
position: relative;
/* Truncate fixed-th-table */
overflow: hidden;
}
.fixed-th-table-wrapper td,
.fixed-th-table-wrapper th,
.scrolled-td-table-wrapper td,
.scrolled-td-table-wrapper th {
/* Set background to non-transparent color
because two tables are one above another.
*/
background: white;
}
.fixed-th-table-wrapper {
/* Make table out of flow */
position: absolute;
}
.fixed-th-table-wrapper th {
/* Place fixed-th-table th-cells above
scrolled-td-table td-cells.
*/
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
.scrolled-td-table-wrapper td {
/* Place scrolled-td-table td-cells
above fixed-th-table.
*/
position: relative;
}
.scrolled-td-table-wrapper {
/* Make horizonal scrollbar if needed */
overflow-x: auto;
}
/* Simulating border-collapse: collapse,
because fixed-th-table borders
are below ".scrolling-td-wrapper table" borders
*/
table {
border-spacing: 0;
}
td, th {
border-style: solid;
border-color: black;
border-width: 1px 1px 0 0;
}
th:first-child {
border-left-width: 1px;
}
tr:last-child td,
tr:last-child th {
border-bottom-width: 1px;
}
/* Unimportant styles */
.container {
width: 250px;
}
td, th {
padding: 5px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="fixed-th-table-wrapper">
<!-- fixed-th-table -->
<table>
<tr>
<th>aaaaaaa</th>
<td>ccccccccccc asdsad asd as</td>
<td>ccccccccccc asdsad asd as</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>cccccccc</th>
<td>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyy zzzzzzzzzzzzz</td>
<td>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyy zzzzzzzzzzzzz</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="scrolled-td-table-wrapper">
<!-- scrolled-td-table
- same as fixed-th-table -->
<table>
<tr>
<th>aaaaaaa</th>
<td>ccccccccccc asdsad asd as</td>
<td>ccccccccccc asdsad asd as</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>cccccccc</th>
<td>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyy zzzzzzzzzzzzz</td>
<td>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyy zzzzzzzzzzzzz</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Opera was buggy for all of the previous answers when I tested them on my mac. If you scroll through the table the fixed column disappears after you pass the first unfixed column. I went ahead and wrote the code below. It works in all the browsers I have locally installed. I don't know how ie handles it though.
Just keep that in mind that if you intend to skip rows in one table and not the other or change the heights of the rows you might need to adjust this code.
<table class = "fixedColumns">
<tr><td> row 1 </td></tr>
<tr><td> row 2 </td></tr>
</table>
<table class = "scrollableTable">
<tr><td> col 1 </td> <td> col 2 </td><td> col 3 </td><td> col 4 </td></tr>
<tr><td> col 1 </td> <td> col 2 </td><td> col 3 </td><td> col 4 </td></tr>
</table>
<style type = "text/css" >
.fixedColumns
{
vertical-align:top;
display: inline-block;
}
.scrollableTable
{
display: inline-block;
width:50px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow-x: scroll;
}
</style>

I took Earmon Nerbonne's answer and edited it to work with tables that fill the whole width.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head><title>testdoc</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
font:16px Calibri;
}
table {
border-collapse:separate;
border-top: 3px solid grey;
}
td {
margin:0;
border:3px solid grey;
border-top-width:0px;
white-space:nowrap;
}
#outerdiv {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 5em;
}
#innerdiv {
width: 100%;
overflow-x:scroll;
margin-left: 5em;
overflow-y:visible;
padding-bottom:1px;
}
.headcol {
position:absolute;
width:5em;
left:0;
top:auto;
border-right: 0px none black;
border-top-width:3px;
/*only relevant for first row*/
margin-top:-3px;
/*compensate for top border*/
}
.headcol:before {
content:'Row ';
}
.long {
background:yellow;
letter-spacing:1em;
}
</style></head><body>
<div id="outerdiv">
<div id="innerdiv">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="headcol">1</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="headcol">2</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="headcol">3</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="headcol">4</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="headcol">5</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="headcol">6</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="headcol">7</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="headcol">8</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="headcol">9</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
<td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div></div>
</body></html>
The width of the fixed column still needs to be a set value though.

If you're in Webdevelopper hell and need to make this work for IE6, here's a sample code I used:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.fixme {
position: relative;
left: expression( ( 20 + ( ignoreMe2 = document.documentElement.scrollLeft ? document.documentElement.scrollLeft : document.body.scrollLeft ) ) + 'px' );
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table width="1500px" border="2">
<tr>
<td class="fixme" style="width: 200px;">loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet</td>
<td>loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet </td>
<td>loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet </td>
<td>loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="fixme" style="width: 200px;">loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet </td>

<td>loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="fixme" style="width: 200px;">loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet </td>

<td>loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet loremp ispum dolor sit amet </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
This will work probably ONLY for IE6, so use conditional comments for the CSS.

Alternatively, style the tbody with a predetermined size (via height:20em, for example) and use overflow-y:scroll;
Then, you can have a huge tbody, which will scroll independently of the rest of the page.

Style the left column with position: fixed. (You'll presumably want to use top and left styles to control where exactly it occurs.)
