Can CSS be used to define table and cell sizes?

see http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp for more help on css
you can define a rule (e.g. in an external stylesheet)
.genericTable {width: 500px;
border:1px black solid;}
.narrowCell {width:20%;}
.wideCell {width:80%:}
then in your html you might have something like:
<table class="genericTAble">
<td class="narrowCell">
navigtion content
</td>
<td class="narrowCell">
main content
</td>
</table>
then if you has this same table on all yor pages and you suddenly decided to make the navigation a bit wider all you would have to do would be alter (2) the values in the externally linked style sheet

Thanks David. I was having a tough time finding something specific to tables but your example and the link you sent me is showing me i only need to create objects to add to or modify the properties. Very cool.
