Width and/or height in tables is not standard anymore; As Ianzz says, they is depreciated. Instead the best of the best-of-do-is-to has a block element inside your table cell that would hold the cell open to your des Ired Size:
<Table> <TR> <TDvalign= "Top"> <Divclass= "Left_menu"> <Divclass= "Menu_item"> <ahref="#">Home</a> </Div> </Div> </TD> <TDvalign= "Top"class= "Content">Content</TD> </TR></Table>
Css
. Content{width:1000px;}. Left_menu{background:None Repeat scroll 0 0 #333333;Border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px;font-family:Arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;Font-weight:Bold;padding:5px;width:200px;}.
