GridviewFix is a helper jQuery plugin that solves the compatibility problem in between .NET Gridview and dataTable plugin.
// DATA_TEMPLATE: dom_data
oTest.fnStart( "aoColumns.sWidth" );

/* NOTE - we need to disable the auto width for the majority of these test in order to preform 
 * these tests as the auto width will convert the width to a px value. We can do 'non-exact' tests
 * with auto width enabled however to ensure it scales columns as required
 */

$(document).ready( function () {
	/* Check the default */
	var oTable = $('#example').dataTable( {
		"bAutoWidth": false,
		"aoColumns": [
			null,
			{ "sWidth": '40%' },
			null,
			null,
			null
		]
	} );
	var oSettings = oTable.fnSettings();
	
	oTest.fnTest( 
		"With auto width disabled the width for one column is appled",
		null,
		function () { return $('#example thead th:eq(1)')[0].style.width == "40%"; }
	);
	
	oTest.fnTest( 
		"With auto width disabled the width for one column is appled",
		function () {
			oSession.fnRestore();
			oTable = $('#example').dataTable( {
