define id to each td in your html say

CSS

<style type="text/css">
#tdfirst
{
width:50px;
}

#tdsecond
{
width:50px;
}

</style>

HTML

<table><tr><td id="tdfirst"></td><td id="tdsecond"></td></tr></table>

What if you have multiple rows? do other td's follow to the ones you put the id to? because i already have classes and my table contains multiple rows, thanks.

Each td style will define minimal width for its column, so the rendering will chose the actual width to fit any of the tds, also taking into account its content. It's easier to try to see how it works.

Then use '.' inplace of '#' sign in CSS and in TD use class="tdfirst" and so on. Then you can use it in multiple rows.

Thanks
