Issue Summary
Very good module, you plan the next version adjust the width of the table and set the column width?

Actually, that's a great idea. I was initially thinking about just using CSS, but it would be cool to have some GUI to set that field for convenience.
I'll put 'er in the backlog and see if I can roll it out soon. Feel free to submit a patch if you have a minute, but be sure to grab the latest from CVS.
Thanks!

Not sure if this is a totally a theme problem or can be fixed in the gui. When creating a table in edit mode, of more than say 6 columns then the table overlaps or disappears on the right depending on the theme. I have to swap to a very basic theme and remove all sidebars / blocks when editing the table.

Hmm, yeah that makes perfect sense - there is probably a "overflow:hidden;" definition somewhere in the CSS. That's probably super annoying - sorry about that!! :)
I bet it wouldn't be too tough to override, as long as the theme CSS allows. Are you using a theme that I could get my hands on to test with?
Thx!

I'm using http://drupal.org/project/acquia_prosper which is a sub-theme of Fusion, therefore it also requires Fusion core and the Skinr module. I've hacked the css a little but only to change colours, and minor text settings. I'm using a standard setup of left and right sidebars with a fixed width. Tried swapping to fluid but this didn't really help.
I noticed this thread and just thought I would mention this issue. I can easily work around the problem by setting the Administration theme to Garland and checking 'Use administration theme for content editing' then turning off any blocks on the right hand side.
Today I produced quite a few tables (I only need very simple tables) and I am very impressed with your module. Works well with the Insert Node module since it allows me to create a number of tables and use them many times. The table display works fine for me though I can see in some layouts / themes it would be useful to control the table width.

I'm getting this too, but in the opposite direction - I have three columns so there's lots of empty space to the right in the node-entry form, but because the column width is small, it's hard to read all the text in some of them.
Perhaps just removing the
size="10"parameter from the cell input fields would help?#6

Just tried setting different width for different columns, but the td cells have no ids set.

I second the original poster's request. Being able to set the column widths would make this eminently more usable. As it stands, I don't have a good table solution for CCK.
