Is there a way to get the table td's to stretch to fit the content?

[jmchauv]

I would like my table tds to stretch to fit whatever the length of the content is, instead of clipping the content. I would like my th's to match the td width so that everything is lined up correctly. Is this possible?

In my situation, my table would most likely exceed the width of the parent div I have it within. I would set that parent div to overflow:auto, so that the user would have to scroll right in order to see more of the table.

Thanks guys.

It seems like the biggest issue would be getting the th to line up correctly with the td's, while also scrolling right with the td's at the same time
