specifying column width in tables

    Hi there,

    I am trying to create a table with three columns of equal width.

    I have used the following HTML: <col span=”3″ style=”width:33.33%;” />

    It works when I first save the page. However, when I return to the visual editor the above code has disappeared and when I resave my table, the width of the columns change…

    Is there anyway to restrict the width using HTML or CSS? I don’t mind using CSS and having it apply to tables throughout the site…

    Many thanks!

    If this is what you’re adding via HTML:

    <col span="3" style="width:33.33%;" />

    Then you could target it with CSS like this:

    col {
	width: 33%;
}

    If you need help with something more specific, please include a link to a post or draft showing the content you’re working with.
