How to get thead to the top on scrolling

I have problem creating sticky thead, my first 3 columns are fixed, rest of data is scrollable horizontal. I'm using jquery library for the sticky header, but position fixed is destroying my horizontal scroll, displaying all elements on the page.
I need sticky header to stay at the top, and at the same time horizontal scroll to work.
This is how it should look but with sticky header.
enter image description here
.horizontal-scroll-access-point {
display: block;
overflow-x: auto;
white-space: nowrap;
thead,tbody {
tr {
//First three elements are fixed
th,td {
&:nth-child(1), &:nth-child(2), &:nth-child(3){
background-color: white;
position:absolute;
text-align: center;
width: 100px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
z-index: 1;
}
&:nth-child(1) {
left: 0;
}
&:nth-child(2) {
left: 100px;
}
&:nth-child(3) {
left: 180px;
}
&:nth-child(4) {
padding-left: 300px;
}
}
}
}
}
<table class="table monthTable horizontal-scroll-access-point" ng-if="showActions()">
<thead class="sticky-header" sticky-divs sticky-divs-margin-top="50">
<tr>
<th class="heading" translate>SH_Area</th>
<th><span translate>AP_openClose</span></th>
<th translate>AP_maxUnits</th>
<th class="hour hover-cell" ng-repeat="hour in apu.hours" ng-click="changeUnitsAllByHourModal(hour)" on-finish-render>
<span ng-bind="hour | hourminute"></span>
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr ng-repeat="area in apu.areaHours">
<td ng-class="area.closed ? 'closed-cell' : 'hover-cell'" ng-click="changeUnitsAllByAccessPointModal(area)"><strong ng-bind="area.accessPointName"></strong></td>
<td class="open-close-cell">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-xs" ng-class="area.closed ? 'btn-danger' : 'btn-success'" ng-click="switchAreaStatus(area)" translate>{{ area.closed ? 'AP_closed' : 'AP_opened' }}</button>
</td>
<td class="gradient-cell-green" ng-bind="area.maxUnits">
</td>
<td ng-class="area.closed ? 'closed-cell' : 'hover-cell'" style="background-color: rgba(110, 170, 120, {{ hour.units / area.maUnits }})" ng-repeat="hour in area.hours" ng-click="changeUnitsModal(area, hour)">
<span ng-bind="area.closed ? '0' : hour.units"></span>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

You should only change the position of thead and then give each one of the th elements the same width as the width of the widest tr element in that column.
I assume your table is responsive. If so, write some js code to do so.

Get image to overlay on top of table

I have a table of basketball stats and I have an image of a basketball court that will later contain a shot chart. It is initially hidden. I want the image to only appear when the user clicks a button. And the image should appear on top of the of table. (Most of the table will be behind the image)
I can't seem to manipulate the CSS or Jquery position to allow that to happen. Part of the problem is that I want the table itself to be centered (margin: 0px auto;)
I started a JSFiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/Thread7/f7g9dtxt/ to work it out. If you click "Show Court" you will see what happens now. The image is at the bottom and to the left. Instead of the top and middle.
Code Below:
<button id='showimg'>
Show Court
</button>
<table class='mytable'>
<tr><th>Name</th><th>FGA</th><th>FGM</th><th>Rebounds</th><th>Fouls</th> </tr>
<tr><td>Michael Jordan</td><td>5</td><td>10</td><td>12</td><td>3</td></tr>
<tr><td>LeBron James</td><td>3</td><td>7</td><td>5</td><td>4</td></tr>
<tr><td>Kobe Bryant</td><td>1</td><td>8</td><td>7</td><td>3</td></tr>
<tr><td>Magic Johnson</td><td>6</td><td>11</td><td>3</td><td>3</td></tr>
<tr><td>Draymond Green</td><td>6</td><td>11</td><td>3</td><td>3</td></tr>
<tr><td>Zach Randolph</td><td>6</td><td>11</td><td>3</td><td>3</td></tr>
</table>

CSS:
.mytable {
margin: 0px auto;
}
.mytable td {
text-align: left;
border: solid;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px;
}
.myimg {
display: none;
margin: 0px auto;
}
JQuery:
$("#showimg").click(function(e) {
$("#court").show();
});

You should wrap your table in element with relative position, than place the image (also in container with absolute position). That way you have better control over those elements. Check it out:
$("#showimg").click(function(e) {
$(".myimg").toggle();
});
.mytable {
margin: 0px auto;
}
.mytable td {
text-align: left;
border: solid;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px;
}
.myimg {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.table_container {
position: relative;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id='showimg'>
Show/Hide Court
</button>
<div class="table_container">
<table class='mytable'>
<tr>
<td>Michael</td>
<td>Jordan</td>
<td>5</td>
<td>10</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>LeBron</td>
<td>James</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>7</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Kobe</td>
<td>Bryant</td>
<td>1</td>
<td>8</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Magic</td>
<td>Johnson</td>
<td>6</td>
<td>11</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div class="myimg">

</div>
</div>

Try this: https://jsfiddle.net/f7g9dtxt/3/
$('.yourImage').toggle();
$("#showimg").click(function(e) {

How to expand input field to the right in a header bar

I have a header bar with left-aligned items, center items and right-aligned items. In the center, I have multiple items and a search input field. When the search field gets focus, I'm making it wider by animating the width. Right now, because the items are centered, it's animating both left and right to center the content. How can I change this so it keeps the alignment and expands the width to the right?
I'm not using Bootstrap.
I'm currently using a table for the header bar content. I'm open to changing that, but if there's a way to do it with the current design, that would be preferred.
Here's a JSFiddle...click in the search field to see what's happening: https://jsfiddle.net/L60g0j64/1/
EDIT: I've updated it with the suggested solution below. My only issue is that the red container surrounding the input should expand also.
HTML/CSS/JS Snippet
$('#search').focus(function() {
$(this).val("");
$('#hidden_content').css('display','inline');
$(this).animate({width: '180px'}, 200);
});
$('#search').blur(function() {
$(this).val('Search');
$('#hidden_content').css('display','none');
$(this).animate({width: '120px'}, 200);
});
.header-navbar {
cursor: pointer;
white-space: nowrap;
background-color: #1f2127;

min-width: 0;
text-overflow: ellipsis;

One quick solution would be to give the parent element a max-width equal to the initial width of the element. In doing so, the element will still be centered relative to the initial width because the input element's animated width will not effect the width of the parent element.
Updated Example
.search-wrapper {
max-width: 124px;
}
As a side note, you don't need jQuery/JS to animate the width, you can simply use a CSS transition along with the :focus pseudo-class.
Updated Example
.search-wrapper input.search {
transition: 1s width ease;
width: 120px;
}
.search-wrapper input.search:focus {
width: 180px;
}

Element OverLap: DropDown Menu not overlapping the contents, instead pushes them down

I have a drop Down Menu, which when clicked upon, pushes the content below it to make space for its items.
However I would like for the drop down to overlap the contents below without pushing it down.
I tried a couple of things but they didnt work including z-index:1; on the drop down list.
<td valign="top" class="navigationLink" style="width: 20%" >
<div class="reportDiv">
<h:outputLabel value="Report" rendered="#{welcomeBean.report}" class="reportMenu"/>
<ul class="reportUL" >
<li><h:link value="Project Wise Report" outcome="/webpages/ProjectWiseReport.xhtml" rendered="true" class="reportItems"/></li>
<li><h:link value="Employee Wise Report" outcome="/webpages/EmployeeWiseReport.xhtml" rendered="true" class="reportItems"/></li>
</ul>
</div>
</td>
This is the drop down. This forms one row of the table in which i have placed the contents of the webpage.
When i click on My Account label, the ul drops down and the height of the table's row increases and pushes the row below it down.
I would like for the drop down to overlap the next row contents. How should i do that?
Some more code below and above it
<div class="container">
<!-- this is where the webpages starts from. The below table is where the main contents are -->
<table border="0" cellpadding="2" style="width: 100%; ">
<tr style="background-color: #95D0CA;">
<!-- contains header of page -->
<td colspan="2">
</td>
</tr>
<tr style=" position: relative; z-index:1;">
<td colspan="2" valign="top">
<!-- THIS IS WHERE I HAVE ADDED A NEW TABLE TO CONTAIN THE MENU ITEMS. THE DROP DOWN IS A (td) OF THIS TABLE -->
<table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" class="templateBody" style="width: 100%;">
<tr >
<td>
<!-- other menu items -->
</td>
<!-- DROP DOWN -->
<td valign="top" class="navigationLink" style="width: 20%" >
<div class="reportDiv">
<h:outputLabel value="Report" rendered="#{welcomeBean.report}" class="reportMenu"/>
<ul class="reportUL" >
<li><h:link value="Project Wise Report" outcome="/webpages/ProjectWiseReport.xhtml" rendered="true" class="reportItems"/></li>
<li><h:link value="Employee Wise Report" outcome="/webpages/EmployeeWiseReport.xhtml" rendered="true" class="reportItems"/></li>
</ul>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- NOW the Row which gets pushed down appears -->
<tr>
<td colspan="2" valign="top" style="width: 100%">
<div class="contentBody">
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
I will show some snaps of how it looks. This might guide you guys to understand my problem.

I have tried using jsFiddle as many of you suggested, but it wasnt showing my code as it is. So that was not serving the purpose. I hope this edit helps.
Please Help me. And do let me know if you need additional codes.

Take a look at following fiddles.
These are some nice drop down menu's you can build
Fidde 1
Fiddle 2

I just need to add the following CSS properties to the class reportUL of the the
un-ordered list (ul) i used to add the drop down menu:
the property required to overlap the drop down on the contents below is:
position: absolute;
and to make it show above / on top of the below content i used:
z-index: 1;
the complete and correct CSS for the class is:
.reportUL
{
list-style-type: none;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
text-align: left;
}

Div and a Table side by side?

So I have 2 Div's one with a form and one with a table. the problem is that the table div is coming below the form div. I tried using float right, and overflow css attributes. but still no success.
CSS styling of my table: jsFiddle
Full webpage here
HTML:
<div id="existing_ledgers">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Job Title</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>James</td>
<td>Matman</td>
<td>Chief Sandwich Eater</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>The</td>
<td>Tick</td>
<td>Crimefighter Sorta</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

Put everything in a parent div, give the parent div display:inline-block
Then give float right/left to your child divs
Example
#registration-form {
display: inline-block;
float: left;
}
#existing_ledgers {
display: inline-block;
float: left;
}

use this css in your web page
.DA_custom_form {
float: left;
margin: 0 auto 5em;
max-width: 600px;
padding: 0 10px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
#el {
float: right;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 600px;
}

using float left and defined widths of the containers: they have to fit into the container, both being 50% wide will solve the problem.
here you have a working example:
http://jsfiddle.net/qLGJt/
#one, #existing_ledgers{float:left; width:50%; }
