 * Hello,
 * I have TablePress 1.6 installed.
 * I would like to know is it possible to make an entire row fixed when scrolling
   down the table?
 * In other words when a viewer scrolls down the table the main row with a list 
   of product names moves downward as well, so the viewer always know what product
   s/he is reading information on.
 * Is this possible? If so, how can I do this?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The FixedHeader Extension from [http://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-fixedheader/](http://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-fixedheader/)
   might be helpful here.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks Tobias
 * The FixedHeader Extension worked.
 * However the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom is now missing. I’m creating 
   a 10 product comparison chart. Right now the table shows all product columns 
   which overlaps the page. See [HERE](http://internettvdotcom.com/internettvsoftware)
 * When I remove ‘datatables_fixedheader=”top”‘ from ‘[table id=1 /]’ the horizontal
   scroll bar reappears.
 * I also tried to get the horizontal slider back by entering the following css 
   code but it didn’t work…
 * ‘<div class=”tablepress-scroll-wrapper”>
    [table id=1 /] </div> .tablepress-scroll-
   wrapper { overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; }’
 * I made a small donation to you. Thanks again.

 * Also want to add:
 * Under ‘Table Options’, all boxes are checked.
 * Under ‘Features of the DataTables JavaScript library’ only ‘Use DataTables:’ 
   and ‘Horizontal Scrolling:’ are checked.

 * Update:
 * Ok, I was able to get the horizontal scroll bar to appear by unchecking the box
   for ‘Horizontal Scrolling:’ and insert the follow code in custom css…
 * ‘#tablepress-1_wrapper {
    overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; }’
 * However, this did not correct the header being too wide.

 * Hi,
 * I’m afraid that I have bad news here: From what I know about the external FixedHeader
   JS library (which I did not develop, but only make available as a TablePress 
   Extension), it does not support horizontal scrolling at the moment.
    That means
   that it can’t really be used on tables that are too wide for the page 🙁 Can 
   you maybe increase the content width of the theme, to make everything fit?
 * Regards,
    Tobias
