title: html table column width, fix width at time of page creation
body: <p>If there an easy way to fix the width of the html table columns at the time the page is rendered. I DO NOT want to specify the pixel or percent width of the columns in my code. However, once the page is created and the widths determined based on the initial content in the table I do not want the widths to change, even if the size of the cell content changes.</p>
  
  <p>Just so you understand what i'm trying to do, if I have the content of a cell change(from normal to bold for example), say when I hover over the row, the size of the columns will change. This looks quite odd.</p>
