I'm trying this now running under v8.2 and am getting some strange
results.

If I run the following code I get a narrow html table.

ods html file="C:\spectre\cellw.html";
proc report nowd data=sashelp.class;
columns name sex age height weight;
define name / width=10 style(column)=[cellwidth=20%];
define sex / width=10 style(column)=[cellwidth=10%];
define age / width=10 style(column)=[cellwidth=20%];
define height / width=10 style(column)=[cellwidth=20%];
define weight / width=10 style(column)=[cellwidth=20%];
run;
ods html close;

But if I run this code I get a wide html table,

ods html file="C:\spectre\cellw.html";
proc report nowd data=sashelp.class;
columns name sex age height weight;
define name / width=10 style(column)=[cellwidth=10%];
define sex / width=10 style(column)=[cellwidth=5%];
define age / width=10 style(column)=[cellwidth=10%];
define height / width=10 style(column)=[cellwidth=10%];
define weight / width=10 style(column)=[cellwidth=10%];
run;
ods html close;

Can somebody explain to me why this should be?
