How to set up fixed width for <td>?

Simple scheme:

  <tr class="something">
    <td>A</td>
    <td>B</td>
    <td>C</td>
    <td>D</td>
  </tr>

I need to set up a fixed width for <td>. I've tried:

tr.something {
  td {
    width: 90px;
  }
}

Also

td.something {
  width: 90px;
}

for

<td class="something">B</td>

And even

<td style="width: 90px;">B</td>

But the width of <td> is still the same.

For Bootstrap 4.0:

In Bootstrap 4.0.0 you cannot use the col-* classes reliably (works in Firefox, but not in Chrome). You need to use OhadR's answer:

<tr>
  <th style="width: 16.66%">Col 1</th>
  <th style="width: 25%">Col 2</th>
  <th style="width: 50%">Col 4</th>
  <th style="width:  8.33%">Col 5</th>
</tr>

For Bootstrap 3.0:

With twitter bootstrap 3 use: class="col-md-*" where * is a number of columns of width.

<tr class="something">
    <td class="col-md-2">A</td>
    <td class="col-md-3">B</td>
    <td class="col-md-6">C</td>
    <td class="col-md-1">D</td>
</tr>

For Bootstrap 2.0:

With twitter bootstrap 2 use: class="span*" where * is a number of columns of width.

<tr class="something">
    <td class="span2">A</td>
    <td class="span3">B</td>
    <td class="span6">C</td>
    <td class="span1">D</td>
</tr>

** If you have <th> elements set the width there and not on the <td> elements.

I was having the same issue, I made the table fixed and then specified my td width. If you have th you can do those as well.

table {
    table-layout: fixed;
    word-wrap: break-word;
}

Template:

<td style="width:10%">content</td>

Please use CSS for structuring any layouts.
