I have problems width column widths. I want first column to have width at least 100px and stretch if needed. Second colmn should get remaining space.

Code:

<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100px">
Name
</td>
<td>
Value
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
First name
</td>
<td>
John
</td>
</tr>
</table>

This works fine. However if text in first column is wider then it gets wierd width.

Code:

<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100px">
Name
</td>
<td>
Value
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
First and last name
</td>
<td>
John Doe
</td>
</tr>
</table>

How can I fix that?

You have to apply a width to all first column tds

Code:

<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="100">Name</td>
<td>Value</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100">First and Last Name</td>
<td>John Doe</td>
</tr>
</table>
