hi,
i'm strugling with some difficulties.
i can't seem to get something to work.

<table id="wijn">
			<tr>
			<?php
				$query = "SELECT id, domein, naam, streek, substreek, jaar, type, smaak, formaat, prijsnormaal, prijs6, prijs12, prijs24, afbeelding from wijnen WHERE kleur = 'rood'";
				$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error());
				while(list($id, $domein, $naam, $streek, $substreek, $jaar, $type, $smaak, $formaat, $prijsnormaal, $prijs6, $prijs12, $prijs24, $afbeelding) = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM))
				{
			?>
			<td>
			<h1><?php echo $naam;?></h1>
			<h2>
			<table>
				<tr>
					<td class="leftinfo">
						Domein
					</td>
					<td>
						<?php
						$newtext = wordwrap($domein, 20, "<br />\n");
						echo $newtext;
						?>
					</td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
					<td class="leftinfo">
						Streek
					</td>
					<td>
						<?php
						$newtext = wordwrap($streek, 20, "<br />\n");
						echo $newtext;
						?>
					</td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
					<td class="leftinfo">
						Substreek
					</td>
					<td>
						<?php
						$newtext = wordwrap($substreek, 20, "<br />\n");
						echo $newtext;
						?>
					</td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
					<td class="leftinfo">
						Jaar
					</td>
					<td>
						<?php echo $jaar;?>
					</td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
					<td class="leftinfo">
						Type
					</td>
					<td>
						<?php echo $type;?>
					</td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
					<td class="leftinfo">
						Smaak
					</td>
					<td>
						<?php echo $smaak;?>
					</td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
					<td class="leftinfo">
						Formaat
					</td>
					<td>
						1 fles(<?php echo $formaat;?> cl)
					</td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
					<td class="leftinfo">
						Prijs normaal
					</td>
					<td>
						€ <s><?php echo $prijsnormaal;?></s>
					</td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
					<td class="leftinfo">
						Vanaf
					</td>
					<td>
						€ <?php echo $prijs24;?> per fles
					</td>
				</tr>
			</table>
			</h2>
			<div id="centerimg">
				<a href="javascript: void(0)" onclick="window.open('images/<?php echo $afbeelding;?>', '<?php echo $afbeelding; ?>', 'width=119, height=400'); return false;"><img src="images/<?php echo $afbeelding;?>" height="100%" border="0px"></a>
			</div>
			<div id="centermeerinfo">
				<a href="wijn.php?id=<?php echo $id;?>"><img src="images/meer info.gif" border="0px"></a>
			</div>
			</td>
			<?php
			$n++;
			if ($n % 2 == 0) echo '</tr><tr>';  
				}
			?>
			</table>

now i want to get the first td column of every row to be like 40px width,
so i should add in my css file something like this:

td.leftinfo{
width:40px;
}

but this doesn't seems to be working.
what i've got in my css file so far:

#container{
margin: 0 auto 10px auto;
width: 800px;
position: relative;
}
#header {
position: relative;
height: 150px;
top: 4px;
}
#streken{
position:absolute;
left:20%;
top:25%;
}
#center{
position:absolute;
top:200px;
width:750px;
}
#footer{
position:absolute;
top:1000px;
right:0%;
}
#center1{
position:absolute;
left:0px;
width:400px;
height:350px;
}
#center2{
position:absolute;
left:450px;
width:400px;
height:350px;
}
#center3{
position:absolute;
left:0px;
width:400px;
height:400px;
top:350px;
}
#center4{
position:absolute;
left:450px;
width:400px;
height:400px;
top:350px;	
}
#centerimg{
position:absolute;
left:65%;
top:10%;
height:62.5%;
width:50%;
}
#centermeerinfo{
position:absolute;
left:65%;
top:75%;
height:67.5%;
width:50%;
}
#streken{
position:absolute;
left:0%;
top:100px;
width:100%;
}
#streken td{
width:160px;
}
#wijn td{
width:400px;
}
#info td{
width:120px;
}
td.leftinfo{
width:20px;
}
h1{
font-size:15pt;
font-family:times new roman;
}
h2{
font-size:12pt;
font-family:times new roman;
font-weight:normal;
}

does anyone see what i'm doing wrong here?

On line #82 you have the same thing in 20px wide ?!?!?!?

td width is based on the widest cell in the column. So if row 1, column 1 is 50px wide and row 10, column 1 is 25px, the entire column will be 50px.

never mind, thanks for info, but found out it was the structure of the tables within the tables
just hard to see when your working in it for 5 hours in a row
