Hi Cricket: Thank you, again.
When I perform the bake, it creates the basic view files: add.ctp, edit.ctp, view.ctp, and index.ctp. So, when I open my browser to a page, e.g., http://localhost/cakebible/clauses, I get a table with all my fields. Some of the fields are not wide enough to best display my right-to-left text. So, I want to change the html or the css to make that column wider. I'm trying to manually change the index.ctp file, adding a width property, e.g.: <th width="400px"><?php echo $this->Paginator->sort('hebrew'); ?></th>. But that does not seem to work. So, I'm wondering what my next step is in learning how to format the pages that have been baked.
