can you restrict cell width?

I have a 2 column x 1 row table, and what I want is to restrict the left cell(column) so that it doesn't expand in width as the page gets wider, do I need to insert a new table into this cell?

A cell with an explicit pixel width either as a value of the width attribute
or as the style of a CSS rule will only expand beyond that width under the
following conditions:

1. It's not possible to draw the table using that width - an example would
be a 500px wide table with a single cell that is set to 300px width
2. You have placed something within that cell that is wider than the
specified cell width - an example would be an image that is 500px in a 300px
wide cell, or a line of type that contains no spaces so that a line break
can occur

For this reason, cell widths are regarded as a) minimum values only, and b)
suggested values only.

No. You dont need to add another table. Just define your cell's width in
pixels. I.E

<table width="300">
<tr>
<td width="100>I am col-left</td>
<td width="200">And I am col-right</td>
</tr>
