Hello I am struggling with WeWeb tables. I am trying to keep the headers and the collection data fixed but I can’t figure this out for the life of me. I am tempted to set fixed px values for the widths but this leads to issues with larger screens/smaller screens. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or how can I best set this up? ![Screenshot 2024-10-15 032324](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/1/1615fa427ef176bfbec131c1c17a90ed855879a1.png) ![Screenshot 2024-10-15 032359](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/c/c77c18b294ab88c85003db879c36664c7da6c666.png) ![Screenshot 2024-10-15 032416](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/a/aa9dda36e83089f818e767fd85d201d21f8d8fac.png) ---

Hi, I am having the same issue right now. I am trying to use min-max width for this and also testing with %. I kind got it more or less, but not perfect yet, but so far the min-width has helped me a lot, specially for those columns where the data can have different number of characters. ---

I’m not sure I have a solution, since it doesn’t address the problem, but I can share how I’ve built my tables and don’t have problems. 1. I have a div for the headers and a div for the `rows` (where I bind the collection of items) with a `row` nested below. I have display:grid set on the `header` and the `row` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/5/501d5cc1a6059522043e9b8d5e7bd5a322aefaaa.png) 1. The `header` and `row` have the same grid defintion. One thing I think I learned is the styles within each need to be the same. For example, I had padding on the `col` in the `row` different than the `col` in the `header` at first. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/f/f7027b78f4da4f0da6c2f1baabae2919fbe769d5.png) 1. The result is I appear to have perfectly lined up columns ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/7/770a7b274a578d5a283d8e83d36003c6f62c9b8e.jpeg) ---
