Thank you John.
Actually I'm "redesigning" my client's site and he has used
fixed numbers such as <td width="200"></td> wihch, I don't
know...I wanted to avoid.
Yes, I can do it in PHP, but as you mentioned, the browser
resized the cell width according to the length of the text
string.
Thanks.
Amrit

I don't think so - if you have different amounts of text or
different width
images in the cells, browsers will usually resize them as
they see fit.

It can, but you'll need to script it: work out how many
cells there are
going to be, and then divide 100 by that number to arrive at
the % width for
each cell. If you have PHP the code is something like this:
<?php
$cells = 5; // use 5 cells as an example
$width = intval(100 / $cells);
echo "<tr>";
for ($i = 1; $i <= $cells; $i++) {
echo '<td width="'. $width. '%">';
echo 'cell #'. $cell;
echo '</td>\n';
}
echo "</tr>";
?>
Cheers
Jon
