 Consistent column widths in 2-column grid

I have several pages that each stack several 2-column grid forms, one under another. The pages look much better when the grids have a uniform look from form to form.

Using the "width" css tag in TableTD, I've been able to set a consistent total width for these tables/forms. However, the pages still look "off" when the widths of the two columns vary from grid to grid. Is there a way I can specify the width of the first (and thereby both) columns?

If anyone has a solution, I'll gladly name my next born in your honor (unless you're that guy that goes by "space clown" :) ).

If the table width is 400px
could you not set the left column/cell to 200x and the right column/cell to 200px or left/right whatever to equal 400px
...and of course they would be fixed/locked

Tony,

Thanks! That is definitely an improvement over what I had before. The only wrinkle is that there's much less text in the left column than the right. So, ideally, the left would be, say, 200px and the right 400px. Any further ideas?

It's best if you have a good play with a table so you can try all the different properties and arrive at what looks best for you.
There are so many variations...text size, spacing, alignment and so on.
Practice makes perfect<g>
