System.Web.UI.HtmlControls Namespace   HtmlTableCell Class

---

Sets or retrieves the width of an HtmlTableCell control.

Inline	<th | td width = intWidth | %Width ... >
Script	HtmlTableCell.Width [ = intWidth | %Width ]

intWidth	Integer specifying the object width, in pixels.
%Width	Value expressed as a percentage of the parent object's width.

The property is read/write with no default value.

Use the Width property to control the displayed width of the HtmlTableCell control.

When you specify the width for a cell, all cells in the same column automatically share that width.

By default, Width is expressed in pixels, but can also be expressed as a percentage of the containing object, which is the parent HtmlTable. Widths expressed as percentages are based on the horizontal space currently available, not on the natural size of the table cell. For example, if the browser window is resized, the table cell is resized accordingly.

Note, though, that this property always retrieves the width in pixels.

If you specify a width that is smaller than is required to display the contents of the HtmlTableCell, this property is ignored.

The below code shows how to declaratively set the Width of an HtmlTableCell at design time.

<table cellspacing=1 width="92%" runat="server">
<tr>
   <th>Table header</th></tr>

<tr>
   <td>Table data</td></tr>
</table>

The following example demonstrates how to programmatically set the Width of the first cell in the first row of an HtmlTable at run time, based on a selected value.

myTable.Rows [ 0 ].Cells [ 0 ].Width = widthSelect.Value + "%";
