Unable to set server side table's cell widths as percentages

[Dot net work]

Hello.

Is it possible to build up a dynamic server side table, and specify
the column widths as percentages? I've tried this:

Set the table width to 100%, then:

FirstColumn.Width = New Unit(50, UnitType.Percentage)
SecondColumn.Width = New Unit(30, UnitType.Percentage)
ThirdColumn.Width = New Unit(20, UnitType.Percentage)

But the widths get ignored.

If I use Unit.Percentage(50), this also gets ignored.

TIA for any suggestions.

When it comes to the column width, browsers consider your instructions as
recommendations. Usually it is possible to layout your page nicely without
specifying exact column width.

I'm sorry, I have made a mistake.

The syntax that I used was fine.
I had the server table positioned inside a small html table. What I
needed to do was set *that* table's overall width to 100%
I now have this working.
