title: Best way to make table cell wider
body: <p>I am trying to figure out how to make the last field (Notes) wider.  Currently the field says "We the people of the United States" as a place holder.  I don't want each row to grow more vertically when the note field has more text in it.</p>

  <pre><code>&lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://acme.com/pkg_testme.edit_item?p_item_id=1126" align="Right"&gt;RS-11&lt;/a&gt;           &lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="300"&gt;a description&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="200"&gt;INSTRUMENT CO&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="40"&gt;28&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="40"&gt;2.85&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="40"&gt;15-OCT-12&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="40"&gt;Euro&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="200"&gt;spring scissor&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="40"&gt;9&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="40"&gt;2&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="40"&gt;9&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="40"&gt;1&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="40"&gt;2&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="40"&gt;1&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="40"&gt;5&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td width="40"&gt;9&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://acme.com/pkg_testme2.edit_item?p_item_id=" align="Right"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://acme.com/pkg_testme.edit_notes?  p_item_id=We%20the%20people%20of%20the%20United%20States"&gt;We the people of the United  States&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
