HTML Attribute for <COL ...>
WIDTH

WIDTH fixes the width of the column. For example the following code sets the width of the fourth column to 150:

<TABLE BORDER CELLPADDING=5>
<COL SPAN=3>
<COL WIDTH="150px">
<TR> <TH>Name</TH> <TH>Price</TH> <TH>Status</TH> <TH>Comments</TH> </TR>
more table rows
</TABLE>

gives us this table:
