Hi,
I have been having some trouble with getting a column to be a fixed width. I have a table with 11 columns, so it doesn't all fit in a normal browser window. One of the cells has a "?" and then a text input, but because the table keeps minimizing the width of the column, it puts the ? and the text input on different lines, creating a row that is much taller than I would prefer, and it just looks gross. I have set the width using style='width:120px', but for some reason firefox keeps minimizing the cell width to the bare minimum to prevent clipping.
Here is the code (Line 73 is where I specify the width of the column I want to be 120px wide):
[HTML]<table width='100%' border='0' class='textc'>
