Width Problem with Dynamically Created Repeater Row

I have an HTML table construct where I dynamically create each row (tr) for
a Repeater in the ItemDataBound event.  My problem is that with some data
sources, with many columns, my resulting HTML table is too wide.  In my
ItemDataBound event I iterate my column definitions and create one
HtmlTableCell for each column, and it's here I would like to set the width
of that column to something narrow than what it defaults to.  However,
setting width on the HtmlTableCell has no apparent effect.  How should I go
about this?



        private void rptUsers_ItemDataBound(object sender,
RepeaterItemEventArgs e)

        {

            HtmlTableRow gridRow = new HtmlTableRow();

            TaskType dataRow = e.Item.DataItem as TaskType;



            gridRow = taskTypeGrid.BuildHtmlTableRow(dataRow);

            ((Repeater)sender).Controls.Add(gridRow);

        }



        public HtmlTableRow BuildHtmlTableRow(EntityBase dataRow)

        {

            HtmlTableRow gridRow = new HtmlTableRow();

            foreach (GridColumnBase col in columns)

            {

                HtmlTableCell gridCell = new HtmlTableCell();

                object dataValue = dataRow[col.BoundField];



                gridCell.Width = "50px";

                gridCell = col.BuildHtmlTableCell(dataValue);

                gridRow.Controls.Add(gridCell);

            }

            return gridRow;

        }
