What's in the table?

if it's tabular data then you really should use a table.

if its a table to control layout of images etc then really it should be
replaced by CSS-P where you should explicitly set the widths of columns
and style each column rather than each cell.

e.g class="column1"; class="column2" etc


Using CSS doesn't mean not using tables, despite popular opinion.

here's a good resource on styling tables:
