Responsive HTML Table While Avoiding Display Block

I have a table style that renders fine when its given enough space:

enter image description here

However, when the width of the parent container is not wide enough the table is hidden:

enter image description here

I can fix this by adding display: block on the table. This will add a horizontal scrollbar:

enter image description here

However, this causes the header to not take up available space when the parent container is very wide:

enter image description here

Is there a way I can get the scrollbar to appear when the parent container is too small, get the header to take up the available space and maintain the look and feel of the table?

:root {
  --global-title-color: black;
  --global-content-background-color: lightgreen;
  --global-background-color: lightblue;
  --global-border-color: red;
  --global-border-radius: 5px;
  --global-border-width-1: 1px;
  --global-font-size-1: 20px;
  --global-font-weight-bold: bold;
  --global-space-fixed-2: 5px;
  --global-space-fixed-3: 10px;
}

  display: block;

Try this solution with the table display: block; I know you want to avoid using display: block;, but for the scroll, must be a static container. As you mentioned above:

However, this causes the header to not take up available space when the parent container is very wide

To fix this you can set the header cell width: 0.1%.

th {
  width: 0.1%;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

:root {
  --global-title-color: black;
  --global-content-background-color: lightgreen;
  --global-background-color: lightblue;
  --global-border-color: red;
  --global-border-radius: 5px;
  --global-border-width-1: 1px;
  --global-font-size-1: 20px;
  --global-font-weight-bold: bold;
  --global-space-fixed-2: 5px;
  --global-space-fixed-3: 10px;
}

.container {
  display: block;
  background: yellow;
  resize: horizontal;
  overflow: hidden;
  min-height: 150px;
}

table {
  display: block;
  color: var(--global-title-color);
  background-color: var(--global-content-background-color);
  border-collapse: separate;
  border-color: var(--global-title-color);
  border-style: solid;
  border-radius: var(--global-border-radius);
  border-width: 0 var(--global-border-width-1) var(--global-border-width-1) var(--global-border-width-1);
  border-spacing: 0;
  overflow: auto;
}

th {
  width: 0.1%;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

th {
  color: var(--global-background-color);
  background-color: var(--global-title-color);
  font-weight: var(--global-font-weight-bold);
  font-size: var(--global-font-size-1);
  padding: var(--global-space-fixed-2) var(--global-space-fixed-3);
  vertical-align: bottom;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

th:first-child {
  border-top-left-radius: var(--global-border-radius);
}

th:last-child {
  border-top-right-radius: var(--global-border-radius);
}

td {
  border-top: var(--global-border-width-1) solid var(--global-border-color);
  /* min-width: 100px; /* /* changed */
  padding: var(--global-space-fixed-2) var(--global-space-fixed-3);
  vertical-align: top;
}

tr:nth-child(2n) {
  background-color: var(--global-background-color);
}

tr:last-child td:first-child {
  border-bottom-left-radius: var(--global-border-radius);
}

You can remove display: block; on table and replace overflow: hidden; with overflow: auto; on .container.

:root {
  --global-title-color: black;
  --global-content-background-color: lightgreen;
  --global-background-color: lightblue;
  --global-border-color: red;
  --global-border-radius: 5px;
  --global-border-width-1: 1px;
  --global-font-size-1: 20px;
  --global-font-weight-bold: bold;
  --global-space-fixed-2: 5px;
  --global-space-fixed-3: 10px;
}

.container {
  display: block;
  background: yellow;
  resize: horizontal;
  overflow: auto;
  min-height: 150px;
}

table {
  color: var(--global-title-color);
  background-color: var(--global-content-background-color);
  border-collapse: separate;
  border-color: var(--global-title-color);
  border-style: solid;
  border-radius: var(--global-border-radius);
  border-width: 0 var(--global-border-width-1) var(--global-border-width-1)
    var(--global-border-width-1);
  border-spacing: 0;
  overflow: auto;
  width: 100%;

  thead {
    th {
      color: var(--global-background-color);
      background-color: var(--global-title-color);
      font-weight: var(--global-font-weight-bold);
      font-size: var(--global-font-size-1);
      padding: var(--global-space-fixed-2) var(--global-space-fixed-3);
      vertical-align: bottom;
    }

    th:first-child {
      border-top-left-radius: var(--global-border-radius);
    }

    th:last-child {
      border-top-right-radius: var(--global-border-radius);
    }
  }

  tbody {
    td {
      border-top: var(--global-border-width-1) solid var(--global-border-color);
      min-width: 100px;
      padding: var(--global-space-fixed-2) var(--global-space-fixed-3);
      vertical-align: top;
    }

    tr:nth-child(2n) {
      background-color: var(--global-background-color);
    }

    tr:last-child {
      td:first-child {
        border-bottom-left-radius: var(--global-border-radius);
      }

      td:last-child {
        border-bottom-right-radius: var(--global-border-radius);
      }
    }
  }
}
<div class="container">

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>SDK</th>
<th>Default namespaces</th>

<tbody>
<tr>
