I need a simple solution. I know it's similar to some other questions, like:
But I need just a single left column to be frozen and I would prefer a simple and script-less solution.
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 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>

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;

</div>This is an interesting jQuery plugin that creates fixed headers and/or columns. Toggle fixed column to be true on the demo page to see it in action.
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

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>I just made the right-most sticky column of a table sticky.

I believe if you'll do {position: sticky; left: 0;}, you'll get the desired result.

</table>This can be easily done with the help of datatables. People who are new to data tables, please refer to https://datatables.net/ .Its a plugin and offers a lot of features.In the the code given, header is fixed,first 3 columns are fixed and several other features are also there.
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.

</div>If you don't want to touch your current table too much you can make a fake pinned column in front of the table.
The example shows one way of doing it without JS
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
border-spacing: 0;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
min-width: 600px;
}
.labels {
display:flex;
flex-direction: column
}
.overflow {
overflow-x: scroll;
min width: 400px;
flex: 1;
}
.label {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
white-space:nowrap;
padding: 10px;
flex: 1;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
