I am trying to setup a table column width to only 200px or 10%. However, when I populate the data from the database, the column seems to ignore the column width and expand it as much as it can. Here is my table html.
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th><a href='#'>City</a></th>
<th width='200' class='table_width'><a href='#'>name</a></th>
<th><a href='#'>Agent</a></th>
<th>...
//I have tried class and width attribute. both don't work.
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
//these column data were popluated from database
<td><?= $row->city; ?></td>
<td width='200' class='table_width'><?= $row->_name; ?></td>
//ignore the width and expand the table cell.
<td><?= $row->agent; ?></td>
<td>...
</tr>
