how to set cell width in javascript just after creating it with 'document.createElement()' method?

Question

I've created cells for a dynamic table in html page using "document.createElement('td')" method & now wish to set width of each individual cell with some different value. Tried "cell.width = width" but it didn't work.

how can I achieve it?

you want to change the width of the cell from the other corresponding cells in the table. — SHANK

Use style.width:

var cell = document.createElement('td');
parent.appendChild(cell);
cell.style.width = '200px';

Here is an example.
