SID-00741: set column width for a table

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:		Perl version:

I am trying to set columns to set width using columnwidths but it is not working for me. Probably my syntax is wrong because I am a Twiki newbie.

%TABLE{ columnwidths="20px, 40px, 20px, 20px" }%

There are for columns in my tables, the content in the 2nd column is too wide so I would like to constraint it to only certain width, say, 40px, anything over 40px will be break into next line.

Thanks, Shawn

You might need to enclose the TWiki table in a div or HTML table to limit its max width so that text in columns wrap at the desired width. Not sure if it is possible to force a wrap in a table cell for a veryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongword though.
