Table specific column width

[eluser]cideveloper[/eluser]
add a class definition to your table using

Code:

$tmpl = array ( 'table_open'  => '<table class="templ_table">' );

$this->table->set_template($tmpl);

and then your table will look like this

Code:

<table class="templ_table">
<caption>Colors</caption>
<tr>
<th>Name</th><th>Color</th><th>Size</th></tr>
<tr>
<td>Fred</td><td>Blue</td><td>Small</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>Mary</td><td>Red</td><td>Large</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>John</td><td>Green</td><td>Medium</td></tr>
</table>

and then you can use the css nth-child selectors to set widths

Code:

.templ_table tr>:nth-child(1){
    width: 50px;
}

.templ_table tr>:nth-child(2){
    width: 250px;
}

.templ_table tr>:nth-child(3){
    width: 100px;
}

Edit: Crap, this might not work in IE. I cant test this right now.
