/*
Function: SetColumnWidths
Force widths of columns in layout.
Remarks: Groove builds your form in a HTML table with
additional columns for field labels. Often these field labels take up more
space than is required, so it very often makes sense to call SetColumnWidths(“20%”);
in your OnAfterInitialize code even when your form layout is only a single column
of fields.
In multi-column layouts (as specified in the Groove Forms designer) you may
want to specify the 1st, 3rd, 5th etc column width to manually set the widths
of the label columns.
Parameters:
arguments - the widths you want the columns to take.
Examples:
(code)
SetColumnWidths( “20%” ); // force first column to 20%
SetColumnWidths( “100px”, undefined, “20%” ); // force first column to 100px and third to 20%
(end)
Returns:
*false* if there was a problem.

/*
Function: SetTRWidths
Set the individual cells of a table row to the specified widths.
Parameters:
tr - (Table.Row) the row of the table you want to set the widths of.
aWidths - (Array) string description of the width for each column you want to set
See Also:
for examples of width parameters.
