Hi All,

I am not good in CSS so I would like to seek help from experts here.
Kindly look at my table below.



What I want is to set the first column width and I want the browser to set the rest.

I tried with this CSS Style but I am not sure why it cannot set the width of the first column.


I generate this table using display tag and I want to explicitly set the column width.

Any hints?

P.S.

I forgot to mention that there is an embedded checkbox at the first column.

Errr....After some checking... I notice in my firebug HTML console that there is another style sheet that sets the length of the
input checkbox.

My problem is resolved...sorry for taking your time...

Thank goodness there's firebug to the rescue..
