TD column width value not working with fixed table-layout

Answer 1

Instead of putting the width on the td, try adding it to the th using css.

For example,

HTML

    

        
Heading 1
        
Heading 2
        
Heading 3
    
    

        
TD 1
        
TD 2
        
TD 3
    

CSS

.column-1 {
    width: 50%;
}
.column-2 {
    width: 25%;
}
.column-3 {
    width: 25%;
}

I had the exact same problem and found this resource helpful:
