Let\'s take 4 table columns - ID, Text, Date, Action. In my case table have always constant width - in example 960px.
ID
Text
Date
Action
Using a 100% width on the wide td and a fixed width for the table along with white-space:nowrap, this can be done:
100%
white-space:nowrap
1 Some text... May 2011 Edit 2 Another text... April 2011 Edit
table { ... width:960px; } td { ... white-space:nowrap; }
