title: Modifying CSS for a Django Column Width
body: <p>I want to make a column wider in the Django Admin change_list.</p>
  
  <p>I've read this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5742486/how-to-give-a-column-in-the-django-admin-change-list-a-css-class">link</a>, which references</p>
  
  <p>"The field names in list_display will also appear as CSS classes in the HTML output, in the form of column- on each  element. This can be used to set column widths in a CSS file."</p>
  
  <p>I have a column named "project."</p>
  
  <p>I added this </p>
  
  <pre><code>th.column-project{width:50%} 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to the end of an existing css file.  </p>
  
  <p>Nothing happened. What am I doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Here is the css path</p>
  
  <p>#result_list > thead > tr > th.sortable.column-project</p>
  
  <p>and some of the actual HTML</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="grp-module grp-changelist-results"&gt;
      &lt;table id="result_list" cellspacing="0" class="grp-sortable"&gt;
          &lt;thead&gt;
              &lt;tr&gt;
               &lt;th scope="col"  class="sortable column-project"&gt;
                   &lt;div class="grp-text"&gt;&lt;a href="?o=4.2"&gt;Project&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
               &lt;/th&gt;
              &lt;/tr&gt;
          &lt;/thead&gt;
  </code></pre>
