Here's my solution (in Spring with Thymeleaf and jQuery):

html:

    
        

            

            

                Objects
            
            

                

                    
Name
                        
Type
                
            
            

                

                        
name
                        
type
                
            
        
    
 

css:

@CHARSET "UTF-8";
#cap span {
    display: table-caption;
    border:2px solid;
    font-size: 200%;
    padding: 3px;
}
#hdr {
    display:block;
    padding:0px;
    margin-left:0;
    border:2px solid;
}
#bdy {
    display:block;
    padding:0px;
    margin-left:0;
    border:2px solid;
}
#objects #bdy {
    height:300px;
    overflow-y: auto;
}
#hdr div div{
    margin-left:-3px;
    margin-right:-3px;
    text-align: right;
}
#hdr div:first-child {
    text-align: left;
}
#bdy div div {
    margin-left:-3px;
    margin-right:-3px;
    text-align: right;
}
#bdy div div:first-child {
    text-align: left;
}
.Cell
{
    display: table-cell;
    border: solid;
    border-width: thin;
    padding-left: 5px;
    padding-right: 5px;
}

javascript:

$(document).ready(function(){
    var divs = ['#objects'];
    divs.forEach(function(div)
    {
        if ($(div).length > 0)
        {
            var widths = [];
            var totalWidth = 0;
            $(div+' #hdr div div').each(function() {
                widths.push($(this).width())
            });
            $(div+' #bdy div div').each(function() {
                var col = $(this).index();
                if ( $(this).width() > widths[col] )
                {
                    widths[col] = $(this).width();
                }
            });
            $(div+' #hdr div div').each(function() {
                var newWidth = widths[$(this).index()]+5;
                $(this).css("width", newWidth);
                totalWidth += $(this).outerWidth();
            });
            $(div+' #bdy div div').each(function() {
                $(this).css("width", widths[$(this).index()]+5);
            });
            $(div+' #hdr').css("width", totalWidth);
            $(div+' #bdy').css("width", totalWidth+($(div+' #bdy').css('overflow-y')=='auto'?15:0));
        }
    })
});
