    1. [ROOTSWEB-HELP] Column widths in tables
    2. George Waller
    3. Hi Experts! Here is another question about tables. Is there a way to specify the column widths globally? As you can see, I repeatedly specify the width in each <TD. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ctmanshs/ Many thanks! George

The <col> tag will do what you want. <http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_col.asp> N.B. although this is part of the HTML standard, not all browsers support all its attributes. The page above notes that Firefox only supports "width" which means any alignment commands will be ignored. I believe this is also the case with IE8 and Chrome. Your mileage may vary about whether this would prevent you from using it. -- Bob Sullivan Schenectady Digital History Archive <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/> Schenectady County (NY) Public Library
