If you mean: making them a fixed size:
Declare Strict DocType (XHTML1.x or HTML 4.01)
Use CSS to set the table layout to fixed:
table {
table-layout: fixed;
}
Declare width and height for cells in CSS, as well:
th, td {
width: [width] [px or %];
height: [height] [px or %];
}
Finally, declare overflow, white-space and text-overflow:
th, td {
overflow: hidden;
white-space: no-wrap;
text-overflow: ellipsis; /*May be IE proprietary - should work universally */
}
All this is only really effective if the table is used for what it's intended for: tabular data, not layout.

<table style="td-width:#">
or whatever the CSS attribute for cell size is supposed to be.
