Can You Fixed The Column Size?

[cptk]

Say I have a simple 2 Row x 4 Col table.

One <td> cell in a row has a "wide" string value, thus affecting the size of the column for all rows above and below. For the row that has this wide string value, I simply leave empty the other cells to the right and use the colspan on the <td> cell to extend the contents.

I was hoping that the "wide" string contents would extend into these other cells, thus allowing me to control the size of the offending column.

Can this be done without CSS? Is there a way to "fix" the column width or the width of each cell?
...thanks!!

Surely you would be removing the cells altogether if you were using colspan, rather than just leavig them empty? Otherwise you would have too many cells on that row.

Hope this helps,
