 * Hi Tobias,
 * I’m having problems getting the Fixed header to align. I’ve tried some of the
   suggestions you’ve given to other people but nothing seems to be working.
 * Here’s the page > [http://www.sealingaustralia.com.au/bonded-washers/](http://www.sealingaustralia.com.au/bonded-washers/)
 * Scroll down to the bottom table called Bonded Washer Kit. All my other tables
   have col and row spans except for this one, which I’m using to test on.
 * Here’s the CSS I’m using…
 * /* Bonded Washer Kit */
    .tablepress-id-47 tbody td { font-size: 13px; text-align:
   center; vertical-align: middle; }
 * Regards,
    Ben.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * From what I can see, the reason for this is that the table is wrapped in that
   expandable accordion section. Due to that, the JavaScript code can not properly
   determine the position and size of the fixed header elements (which are extra
   HTML elements on the page).
    My assumption is that the FixedHeader JS code (which
   I didn’t write, I just made it available as a TablePress Extension) does not 
   support tables in accordions. Sorry for not having better news here.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks for your quick reply. I’ll see how I can go without the accordian box.
 * Though I would like to keep them. I have a lot of large tables. If you or some
   you might know of can find a waty to make it work I’d be happy to pay.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the offer, but I don’t think that this will be easily possible. There
   are some technical limitations here (specifically, the position and size of an
   element can not really be determined if it’s hidden due to the accordion being
   used). Otherwise, the developer of the FixedHeader JavaScript code would most
   likely have added support for this already.
 * Instead of using the FixedHeader Extension, why don’t you simply turn on pagination
   for this table? That way it would not be so tall and should fit on a page…
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * I ‘ve done as you suggested and taken the accordian away and paginated the table.
   Although my client really like the novalty of it.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Hi,
 * good to hear that you found a working setup.
    The pagination should work with
   the pagination, too, so no real need to remove that then…
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
