Table cell (TD) dynamically sizing to width of longest word in column. What style causes this?

Question

Webkit inspector is unable to tell me why my table cells are not obeying the `width` style. I can get them to either stretch to fit the entire line (by setting `white-space: nowrap` or to stretch to fit the longest word, but I just want the cells to be some number of pixels wide.

Accepted Answer

First of all, check this out: Fixed Table Cell Width Now, for fixed cell size (``) use: ``` ``` before your ``` ``` Alternatively, use: ``` ``` OR ```

``` To fix the table size. The "break word" value for "word wrap" property in your css is useful in these cases: ``` word-wrap:break-word ```
