Please consider the following:
<td style='width: 500px;'> <div style='width: 400px;'>SomeContent</div> </td> For some reason, the column that contains a div will not expand to 500px as the style suggests.
Do you know how to get the td to honor the width that I am specifying in the style?
In theory, you can use the min-width and max-width styles. In practice, some popular browsers ignore these styles. In this case you have explicitly declared a width of 400, so it should always equal 400 unless acted upon by a child growing or a parent shrinking. You could runat-‘server’ and programatically determine the width attribute based on content size, or you could play with the overflow style, or put it in a Panel with a horizontal scrollbar.
