I'm struggling with a fixed header and fixed column table issue. The header stays in place, but the column doesn't. How can I solve this problem? I've attempted to use the position: fixed property on the first column, but it's not working correctly. Is there a solution that doesn't involve Javascript? (I've looked at previous questions on the same topic, but none of them have helped me). Here is my Codepen.
body {
background-image: url(http://absfreepic.com/absolutely_free_photos/small_photos/green-grass-football-lawn-4020x2261_98957.jpg);
}
h3 {
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px;
color: white;
}
.table {
background-color: white;
margin: auto;
width: 600px;
border-collapse: separate;
display: block;
overflow-x: scroll;
}
thead,
tbody {
display: inline-block;

tbody {
overflow-y: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
max-height: 70px;
position: relative;
