If you want to control the column widths and allow the content to wrap if
necessary, you can do so with CSS (and some JS in IE). Let's say you want
to set the width of the 5th column. To support IE, in Javascript do:
<script>
$(function() {
$('.ie .web2py_table td:nth-child(5)').addClass('td-wrap');
});
</script>
Then in CSS:
.web2py_table td:nth-child(5), .web2py_table td.td-wrap {
min-width: 15em; max-width: 20em; white-space: normal !important;
}
