Width property not recognized??

[Barb]

I have a problem with my HTML that's rendered by my page. I'm using an
<asp:table> inside of an HTML <table>, and my processing works great except
that I cannot control the width. I'm even lucky enough to only need it to
work w/ IE! It just ignores me. I've tried setting my widths on absolutely
every field, set them using styles instead of just the instrinsic attribute,
tried percents...NOTHING. The only fields that pay attention to anything are
the dropdowns, which adjust to the data within them. The text boxes stay
static, and WAY too big. Here's my code...if you have any suggestions, I
would really appreciate it! THANKS!

For Each item In SearchResults.Tables(0).Rows

'Add each line item here
tRow = New TableRow

PhoneNumber.Length = 0 'init phone number field
If item.Areacode <> " " Then
PhoneNumber.Append(item.Areacode)
End If
If item.Phone <> " " Then
If PhoneNumber.Length > 0 Then
PhoneNumber.Append("-")
End If
PhoneNumber.Append(item.Phone)
End If
If PhoneNumber.Length = 0 Then
PhoneNumber.Append(" ")
End If

tCell = New TableCell
tCell = BuildTableCell("", item.CompanyType, False,
9, "percent")
tRow.Cells.Add(tCell)

link.Length = 0 'init string before building
each row.
link.Append("<a
href=""CompanySummary.aspx?companyid=")
link.Append(item.CompanyId.ToString)
link.Append(""">")
link.Append(item.CompanyName.ToString)
link.Append("</a>")

tCell = New TableCell
tCell = BuildTableCell(item.CompanyId.ToString,
link.ToString, False, 9, "percent")
