I am trying to display a calendar html. Below is sample code. I am not sure why the second column have some extra spaces after the sentence is finished. How can that space distributed to other columns.

I appreciate any help.

<html>
<body>
<table valign=top border=1 width=800 height=500>
<tr valign=top>
<td>1 Test1 test2 test3 test4</td>
<td>2 abc</td>
<td>3 Test2</td>
<td>4 Test3</td>
<td>5 Test4</td>
<td>6 Test5</td>
<td>7 Test6</td>
</tr>
<tr valign=top>
<td>2 Test1 test2 test3 test4</td>
<td>2 This column looks too long with extra space test1 test2</td>
<td>3 Test2</td>
<td>4 Test3</td>
<td>5 Test4</td>
<td>6 Test5</td>
<td>7 Test6</td>
</tr>
<tr valign=top>
<td>3 Test1 test2 test3 test4 test5 test6</td>
<td>2 abc</td>
<td>3 Test2</td>
<td>4 Test3</td>
<td>5 Test4</td>
<td>6 Test5</td>
<td>7 Test6</td>

</tr>
<tr valign=top>
<td>4 Test1 test2 test3 test4</td>
<td>2 abc</td>
<td>3 Test2</td>
<td>4 Test3</td>
<td>5 Test4</td>
<td>6 Test5</td>
<td>7 Test6</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Maybe because the whole table WIDTH is 800 pixels, and browsers decides to put the surplus width in the column with the longest text lines.

I know, But I like to know how we can resolve that by distributing that space on other columns so it would not look odd.

Use widths for the columns then.
