Table - Custom Column Width?

[eluser]ripken204[/eluser]
i am using the table class and it is working fine for me, the only issue i have is that i am not sure how to set the width of different columns.

for example, i have a first name, last name, address column.
the table class just does its own thing as far as column width goes, i would like to be able to manually the first name column to a certain with, set last name to its own certain width, etc.

does anyone know if this is possible with CI?
