 * I am having an issue with a table not appearing the same in Internet Explorer
   as it does in Google Chrome. In Chrome it spans the full width of the theme, 
   but in IE it shrinks to probably 2/3 of the width. Can any CSS be added to resolve
   this issue or is this an issue with our theme?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftable-width-in-internet-explorer-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * One possible cause could be that the table is shown in a collapsable section 
   of the page. This might throw off the width calculation. To maybe override that,
   please add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of
   TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-5 {
         width: 100% !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
