Im having an issue with fixed columns

shaneamondos

Currently I have a table that has fixed columns down the left hand side of my table, one for the users first name and one for the users last name. The table is filled extra columns with fixed-width cells representing whether the user has passed the course, failed the course, or are not required to take the course.

I would like to use fixed columns so the user can scroll horizontally through all the courses. This works perfectly in the scenario that i have enough columns/courses to make the table >= 100% width (i.e the table can scroll horizontally).

The issue I'm having is when their is not enough columns/courses to fill the tables full width. This displays the fixed columns in the wrong place, about half a cell to the right, and ruins the whole table.

Is there a solution for this? Can i use fixed columns if also have fixed width cells?
