Allow text and select widths to be specified in options

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is not a problem, just an enhancement request!!

I would love for my aoColumns object to look like this:
aoColumns: [
  { type: "text" },
  { type: "text", width: "150px" },
  { type: "select", width: "150px" },
  null,
  null
  ]

I have added this functionality to your plugin, but I'm no JS expert so I'm 
sure you could do it better!  I have attached my updated copy of version 1.4.0

Thanks!
Chris

P.S.  It would be great if you could update the zip file under the "Downloads" 
link.  It includes version 0.9.0, not the latest

Hi,

I'm not sure about this change. Width, height and other properties should be 
set in CSS and not directly in input element as an attribute. 
If you want to control width, could you put some different classes on each TH 
elements that holds a input/select used for search and define css rule to 
specify width? Something like:

th.engine input { width: 50px } 

I will update downloads page.

Thanks,
Jovan

Hi Jovan,

I was having an issue with setting the width on the header column itself.  
You're right, it is far better to have such things in the css.  I'm all set now.

Thanks
