Late to the party (Story of my life), but since this is the first result on google, and none of the above got me working, here's my code

/*Set a min width where your table start to look like crap*/
table { min-width: 600px; }

/*The next 3 sections make the magic happen*/
thead, tbody tr {
    display: table;
    width: 100%;
    table-layout: fixed;
}

tbody {
    display: block;
    max-height: 200px;
    overflow-x: hidden;
    overflow-y: scroll;
}

td {
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

/*Use the following to make sure cols align correctly*/
table, tr, th, td {
    border: 1px solid black;
    border-collapse: collapse;
}


/*Set your columns to where you want them to be, skip the one that you can have resize to any width*/
    th:nth-child(1), td:nth-child(1) {
    width: 85px;
}
th:nth-child(2), td:nth-child(2) {
    width: 150px;
}
th:nth-child(4), td:nth-child(4) {
    width: 125px;
}
th:nth-child(5) {
    width: 102px;
}
td:nth-child(5) {
    width: 85px;
}
