Look into the CSS overflow property.
You can put your table inside a DIV or SPAN element and set the overflow style property for that element so that it will give vertical or horizontal scrollbars as needed.

Remember when you set the width/height of the DIV or SPAN that you have to allow for the size of the scrollbar as well and it varies in size a bit between various browsers.
