Description

I've tried to use https://github.com/mjpclab/jquery-table-fixed-header in order to make table header rows fixed while scrolling. Unfortunately there seems to be something in the Hugo Learn Theme causing the fixed table header rows to be wider than the original table header.

fixed-header

I've failed to understand exactly what causes this behaviour. In all other examples not using Hugo I've tried, this problem does not exist.

Would be great if Hugo Theme Learn could include support for fixed table headers, either by solving any issues with https://github.com/mjpclab/jquery-table-fixed-header or by any other means.

Research direction
Investigate the CSS conflict between the jquery table fixed header plugin and the Hugo Learn Theme. The issue shows fixed header rows are wider than the original table. Check the theme's CSS files (likely in static/css or layouts) for any table styling that might override the plugin's width calculations. Look for CSS rules that set table layout, width, or overflow properties. The plugin's JavaScript might compute widths based on the table's original dimensions, but the theme's CSS may apply padding or borders that cause mismatch.
