width of table cells

[yilias]

I'm trying to make a simple table with names and status indication of the specified person. This is in the folowing (simplyfied way):
<table>
<tr>
<td>name</td><td>status</td>
</tr>
</table>

Now i want to align the name to the left side and the picture to the right side. This is why i putted it in two cells. But when i do this the cell width is always 50% of the screen (with the nokia toolkit emulator). Is there a way tot change the width of the cell? i serched a lot in CSS info but i couldn't find it. Does somebody know?

You should be able to use the width and text-align properties for this.

.colleft{
width: 80%;
text-align: left;
}
.colleft{
width: 20%;
text-align: right;
}
