How to force Repeater control formatting <td width> and line bre

Hello

In my ASP.NET web application I am using the Repeater control. Placed
the Repeater in a Panel Control and included it in a table in order to make
data print one row on each line across the page, the datasource is a
DataTable and I am using css. I use a HeaderTemplate to create column
headings then I use ItemTemplate to show the data in the columns. The
problem is that the first row does use the width formatting that I
specified in the <td> tag and therefore prints under the column headings
the way that it should but the remaining rows in the table ignore the width
formatting that I specified in the <td> tag and just prints the rows using
its default setting which stops the rows data from continuing to print
under its corresponding column heading also none of the rows print on a
separate line so I inserted a <br /> tag to force a line break but I don't
think you are supposed to need to do that. So my questions are:

How do you make all rows in the table print using the width formatting
in the <td> tag and whether or not you must use <br /> to force line
breaking like I am doing?

Note: None of the examples that I have seen used <br /> but I know some
html so I used it to force the lines to break.

Below is the code:

<asp:Panel ID="pnlIncident" runat="server">
<asp:Repeater ID="rptIncident" runat="server">

<HeaderTemplate>
<table >
<tr>
<th align="left" width="40px">Prob#</th>
<th align="left" width="45px">Type</th>
<th align="left" width="40">p1</font></th>
<th align="left" width="45">p2</font></th>
</tr>
</HeaderTemplate>

<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td align="left" width="40px" ><%#

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Prob#") %></td>
<td align="left" width="45px"> <%#

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Type") %></td>
<td align="left" width="40px" ><%#

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "p1") %></td>
<td align="left" width="45px"> <%#

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "p2") %></td>
</tr>
<br />

</table>
</ItemTemplate>

</asp:Repeater>
</asp:Panel>

Try to use style="width:xx" instead of width attribute. I think, you
don't need to repeat it for TD cells and you can use style only for
TH. Note, that

<th align="left" width="40">p1</font></th>
<th align="left" width="45">p2</font></th>

has </font> in the cells...

I don't get what does <br /> in your code, but this would definitely
cause validation error
