I am trying to increase the column width like below. But it doesn't seem to work. I want to increse the colum width for "Open" and "close" columns. Any increment in the width does not work.
Can some one let me know what is the right way of achieving this?

<tr>
<th width ="20" rowspan="2" >Contract </th>
<th width ="200" colspan="4">Floor <br> Price </th>
<th width ="40" colspan="2">Settle</th>
<th width ="160" colspan="8">Current-Volume </th>
<th width ="40" colspan="2">Contract</th>
</tr>

<tr>
<th width ="80"> Open</th>
<th width ="20"> High</th>
<th width ="20"> Low</th>
<th width ="80"> Close</th>
<th width ="20"> Price</th>
<th width ="20"> Change</th>
<th width ="20"> TotalVolume</th>
<th width ="20"> OI</th>
<th width ="20"> Change</th>
<th width ="20"> ADJ</th>
<th width ="20"> val1</th>
<th width ="20"> val2</th>
<th width ="20"> Spread</th>
<th width ="20"> Volume</th>
<th width ="20"> High</th>
<th width ="20"> Low</th>
</tr>

You really need to use units (px,em,%)

I tried using thr percentage width increase like below.
But I do not see any difference in the output.

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" id="priceTable">

<tr>
<th width ="10%" rowspan="2" >Contract </th>
<th width ="35%" colspan="4"><br> Price </th>
<th width ="15%" colspan="2">Settle</th>
<th width ="25%" colspan="8">Current-
<br> <c ut value="${report.Date}" />
</th>
<th width ="15%" colspan="2">Contract</th>
</tr>

<tr>
<th width ="10%"> Open</th>
<th width ="7%"> High</th>
<th width ="7%"> Low</th>
<th width ="10%"> Close</th>
<th width ="7%"> Price</th>
<th width ="7%"> Change</th>
<th width ="7%"> Total<br>Volume</th>
<th width ="7%"> OI</th>
<th width ="7%"> val1</th>
<th width ="7%"> val2</th>
<th width ="7%"> val3</th>
<th width ="7%"> val4</th>
<th width ="7%"> <br>Volume</th>
<th width ="7%"> lt;br>Volume</th>
<th width ="7%"> High</th>
<th width ="7%"> Low</th>
</tr>

Thanks,
Trupti

That did not help.
Any other pointers?Basically I am trying to print 2 int values from two different database tables in on column in the HTML table but they should be printed apart with some space between them like below
12345 45678

but now since the column width is not enough , one value is printed on on line 1 and second on line2.

Thanks\
Trupti

For the record.....

'HTML & XTML � The Definitive Guide' says on page #372:


The nowrap attribute -

Browsers treat each table cell as though it were a browser window unto itself, flowing contents inside the cell as they would (with) common body contents. (although subject to special table cell-alignment properties). Accordingly, the browsers automatically wrap text lines to fill the allotted table cell space. The nowrap attribute, when included in a table row, stops that normal word wrapping in all cells in that row.



For example, a nowrap attribute in the td tag -
