It doesn't matter what you /tell/ the browser, they will expand to fit the 
cell contents. If you have images and tables in there, then they will /try/ 
to display at 50-50, but if you have a 400pixel image, then the cell can't 
reduce that image, for example.

When working with tables, put a border around the cells to quickly find the 
culprit, you can always go back and remove the border.
