Keep width even when column changes. (HTML) - asp.net

Question

I have a login on the left sidebar of my website. When a user is logged in, the sidebar width doesn't remain the same as it was when the user wasn't logged in.
Is there a way to keep the width the same?
<!-- Start Sidebar -->
<td id="sidebar" valign="top" height="400px" style="width: 200px">
<!-- Login Form -->
<table id="TABLE2">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<asp:LoginView ID="LoginView1" runat="server">
<LoggedInTemplate>
<br />
<br />
You are currently logged in.

Answer 1

If the markup is the same, you could always just add a fixed width to it in CSS:
<div id="sidebar">
...
</div>
#sidebar { width: 200px; }
This, of course, assumes the markup for the sidebar itself is the same both when logged in and when not logged in.
...assuming you use a non-table layout. You can still set a fixed width on the sidebar-cell, but tables should generally not be used for layout purposes.
Edit: Ah, and there is the code. I advice you to read up on CSS (google "CSS tutorial" and the like) and remove all the style-attributes from your code. The way it looks today makes it really, really unreadable and not very easily changeable.
