Abstract
A method and system is provided for resizing columns in a table when a table width is changed from a current table width to a new table width. The table may contain data and may be displayed to a user. The table may be resized responsively to the user's inputs or other conditions. A new column width is determined for each column in the table based on a column minimum width and a column maximum width associated with each column. Column minimum widths and column maximum widths may be selected to enhance user comprehension of data displayed in the table. Each column may be associated with a variable representing an order, and the columns may be resized in ascending sequence based on the order variable.
