title: Fixed Table Cell Width
body: <p>A lot of people still use tables to layout controls, data etc. - one example of this is the popular jqGrid. However, there is some magic happening that I cant seem to fathom (its tables for crying out loud, how much magic could there possibly be?)</p>
  
  <p>How is it possible to set a table's column width and have it obeyed like jqGrid does!? If I try to replicate this, even if I set every <code>&lt;td style='width: 20px'&gt;</code>, as soon as the content of one of those cells is greater than 20px, the cell expands!</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas or insights?</p>
