# Column Width changes with each row

 * I have been testing out TablePress, but can’t get this to work out:
 * I have a table populated with data, and have checked the box to allow horizontal
   scrolling. But what happens is that the header row doesn’t scroll, while the 
   rest of the table does. Obviously this makes reading the data impossible.
 * Here is my test page: [http://www.premierleaguepokerclub.com/test-table/](http://www.premierleaguepokerclub.com/test-table/)
 * Also not sure why my custom CSS isn’t working. Theme conflict? How would I go
   about tracking down the conflicts in the themes CSS?
 * THANKS!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason for this seems to be that your theme or another plugin is loading 
   a VERY old version of the jQuery JS library from the Google CDN, instead of using
   the up-to-date version that ships with WordPress.
    Due to that, the JS on the
   page (including the table features) break. For some ideas on how to fix this,
   please see [http://tablepress.org/faq/js-functions-not-working/](http://tablepress.org/faq/js-functions-not-working/)
 * For the “Custom CSS”: Your selectors need to be more specific here, as they otherwise
   will be overridden by the defaults.
    Instead of using e.g.
 *     ```
       .column-1 {
       ```
   
 * you should use
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-123 .column-1 {
       ```
   
 * with a specific table ID (or `.tablepress` to have this affect all tables).
    
   Then, for the header row, you should try [http://tablepress.org/faq/change-background-color-table-head-row/](http://tablepress.org/faq/change-background-color-table-head-row/)
   instead of what you have now.
 * In general, the developer tools that modern browsers ship with (like the Chrome
   Developer Tools) are handy when it comes to debugging this, as they show you 
   which CSS from where is being used.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
