How can I dictate column width in an HTML table?

Question

I know how to define table width, but the individual columns are defined by content -- columns with more in them are wider. But I want them to all be a uniform width. How do I dictate this?

Answer 1

Lets say you have a table that is 600 pixels wide.



And you want 2 columns



The Code would be:

Column 1

Column 2

You simply divide the total width of your table by the number of columns to get the static width.



You could also use percentages/dynamic width

Column 1

Column 2

Answer 2

Answer 3

use css..



table td {

width:300px;

}
