How to display scroll bar onto a html table
You have to insert your <table> into a <div> that it has fixed size, and in <div> style you have to set overflow: scroll.
Update:
The original answer was written 10 years ago. These days there are lots of good UI components for table views and showing in proper ways. So my suggestion is to go for one of these free or paid components to make sure you already support lots of edge cases which is already implemented in these components.
Something like this?

The idea is to wrap the <table> in a non-statically positioned <div> which has an overflow:auto CSS property. Then position the elements in the <thead> absolutely.
#table-wrapper {
position:relative;
}
#table-scroll {
height:150px;
overflow:auto;
margin-top:20px;
}
#table-wrapper table {
width:100%;
}
#table-wrapper table * {
background:yellow;
color:black;
}
#table-wrapper table thead th .text {
position:absolute;
top:-20px;
z-index:2;
height:20px;
width:35%;
border:1px solid red;
}<div id="table-wrapper">
<div id="table-scroll">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th><span class="text">A</span></th>
<th><span class="text">B</span></th>
<th><span class="text">C</span></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr> <td>1, 0</td> <td>2, 0</td> <td>3, 0</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>1, 1</td> <td>2, 1</td> <td>3, 1</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>1, 2</td> <td>2, 2</td> <td>3, 2</td> </tr>
