Is there any way to specify the width of a column in a table generated by the Form and List module?

My table has two columns:

 

Book Title         | Author
The Dark Tower  | Stephen King

 

I would like to set the width of the second column to wider, or set a max-width on the first column to give more space to the second column - as the text (King) is wrapping to the second line. I can’t see a way to do this with CSS as there is no distinction between the two columns.

< tr class="rowstyle" >

< td >The Dark Tower < /td >< td > Stephen King < /td >

< /tr >

 

Is there a way to achieve this even if it means editing the source code?

 

Thank you

Have you taken a look at the User Defined Table tutorials here. That's the old name of the module. Even though they refer to an older version, you might find some items of interest. I'm not up to date on the module, but you shouldn't have to be changing the code. There are either templates or XSLT files that format the output.

Thanks Joe.

It looks like I'll have to do this with a custom XSLT file.
