 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to use the “DataTables FixedColumns Extension 1.4” but the extension
   is not allowing my table “Showalter Stadium” to be displayed at a 100% width.
 * Is there a trick?
 * Thanks.

 * I disabled:
 * Table Head Row: The first row of the table is the table header.
 * And it fixed it.

 * I also notice the same issue happens if you enable “Enable horizontal scrolling,
   to make viewing tables with many columns easier.”
 * Is there a way to enable these features but keep the 100% width?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * With that “Table Head Row” checkbox turned off, you will however not get the 
   Fixed Columns…

 * Yes, I realized that later.
 * How would we go about having the fixed columns and the table width at a 100%?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * Can you please turn on the “Table Head Row” checkbox again, so that I can see
   the wrong behavior?

 * Did you get a chance to look at it? I will need to disable the feature to bring
   the table back to “normal” shortly.
 * I appreciate your help Tobias!

 * Hi Daniel,
 * yes, I was able to take a look now. Please try adding this to the “Custom CSS”
   textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .dataTables_wrapper .tablepress {
         width: 100% !important;
       }
       ```

    Tobias

 * That seem to have done it. 🙂
 * Now, any idea why am I seeing that little white square?

 * Hi,
 * where are you seeing this? I just viewed the page again in Chrome and Firefox
   and don’t see such a square there?!

 * That’s strange. I’m using Firefox (version 62.0.3) on a Mac.
 * I tried on Chrome and I don’t see the square as well.
 * Thanks.
