table and col width with input type="text"

I'm attempting to size a table and its proving to be difficult, when
the <td> contain
input type="text"

It seems any width spec using
<col width="50"> works fine, but only when it applies to text ( not
<input> )

I also read through a 2005 post where a person attempted to put <col
....> tags in a CSS definition (in the head section) that looked
really strange, others also advocated "col" spec in CSS, so how is it
supposed to be done ?

any suggestions ?

I work only in IE, so it might not work withy other browsers, but I set
the width of the COL or TD to a specific number. I then set the width
of the INPUT tags to "100%", so that they fill the container cells.
