 * Fixed widths seems to be a problem for many people, including me. I want a table
   with 4 columns and a dozen or more rows. Column 1 & 3 are 100px wide with images,
   while 2 & 4 are 400px wide with text. I want 2 & 4 width to stay fixed, no matter
   the text size. I will make sure 1 & 3 get images sized property to fit.
    I have
   tried this approach without any luck. [table id=62 responsive=scroll column_widths
   =”10%|40%|10%|40%”/] [table id=62 responsive=scroll column_widths=”100px|400px
   |100px|400px”/] [table id=62 responsive=scroll /] I don’t mind the scrolling –
   just want columns to stay fixed. Also have experimented with every css suggestion
   I can find in this forum. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This should work by setting a minimum width:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-17 .column-2,
       .tablepress-id-17 .column-4 {
         min-width: 300px;
       }
       ```
   
 * In addition, you’ll probably have to set a minimum width for the images:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-17 .column-1 img,
       .tablepress-id-17 .column-3 img {
         min-width: 60px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
