Use d-flex instead of row for  tr  in Bootstrap 4  The thing is that  row  class takes more width then the parent container  which introduces issues    x000D   x000D   lt table class  table  gt  x000D     lt tbody gt  x000D       lt tr class  d-flex  gt  x000D         lt td class  col-sm-8  gt Hello lt  td gt  x000D         lt td class  col-sm-4  gt World lt  td gt  x000D       lt  tr gt  x000D       lt tr class  d-flex  gt  x000D         lt td class  col-sm-8  gt 8 columns lt  td gt  x000D         lt td class  col-sm-4  gt 4 columns lt  td gt  x000D       lt  tr gt  x000D     lt  tbody gt  x000D   lt  table gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

This is how I often do when I don t have to deal with IE       lt tr gt         lt th scope  col  style  width  calc 1   100    12   gt   lt  th gt         lt th scope  col  style  width  calc 4   100    12   gt Website lt  th gt         lt th scope  col  style  width  calc 3   100    12   gt Username lt  th gt         lt th scope  col  style  width  calc 3   100    12   gt Password lt  th gt         lt th scope  col  style  width  calc 1   100    12   gt Action lt  th gt       lt  tr gt    That way you can have a familiar 12-col grid

in Bootstrap Table 4 x If you are creating the table in the init parameters instead of using HTML  You can specify the width parameters in the columns attribute     quot table quot   bootstrapTable       columns              field   quot title quot   title   quot title quot   width   quot 100px quot

If you re using  lt table class  table  gt  on your table  Bootstrap s table class adds a width of 100  to the table  You need to change the width to auto   Also  if the first row of your table is a header row  you might need to add the width to th rather than td

In my case I was able to fix that issue by using min-width  100px instead of width  100px for the cells th or td    table td   table th       min-width  100px

Instead of applying the col-md-  classes to each td in the row you can create a colgroup and apply the classes to the col tag        lt table class  table table-striped  gt           lt colgroup gt               lt col class  col-md-4  gt               lt col class  col-md-7  gt           lt  colgroup gt           lt tbody gt           lt tr gt               lt td gt Title lt  td gt               lt td gt Long Value lt  td gt           lt  tr gt           lt  tbody gt       lt  table gt    Demo here

I ve been struggling with the issue for a while  so just in case when someone makes the same stupid mistake as me    Inside the  lt td gt  I had the element with white-space pre style applied  That made all my table tr td tricks discarded  When I removed that style  suddenly all my text was nicely formatted inside the td   So  always check the main container  like table or td  but also  always check if you don t cancel your beautifull code somewhere deeper

I was having the same issue  I made the table fixed and then specified my td width  If you have th you can do those as well   table       table-layout  fixed      word-wrap  break-word      Template    lt td style  width 10   gt content lt  td gt    Please use CSS for structuring any layouts

Bootstrap 4 0 On Bootstrap 4 0  we have to declare the table rows as flex-boxes by adding class d-flex  and also drop xs  md  suffixes to allow Bootstrap to automatically derive it from the viewport  So it will look following   lt table class  quot table quot  gt       lt thead gt           lt tr class  quot d-flex quot  gt               lt th class  quot col-2 quot  gt  Student No   lt  th gt               lt th class  quot col-7 quot  gt  Description  lt  th gt               lt th class  quot col-3 quot  gt  Amount  lt  th gt           lt  tr gt       lt  thead gt        lt tbody gt           lt tr class  quot d-flex quot  gt               lt td class  quot col-2 quot  gt test lt  td gt               lt td class  quot col-7 quot  gt Name here lt  td gt               lt td class  quot col-3 quot  gt Amount Here  lt  td gt           lt  tr gt       lt  tbody gt   lt  table gt   Hope this will be helpful to someone else out there  Cheers

For Bootstrap 4  you can simply use the class helper    lt table class  table  gt     lt thead gt       lt tr gt         lt td class  w-25  gt Col 1 lt  td gt         lt td class  w-25  gt Col 2 lt  td gt         lt td class  w-25  gt Col 3 lt  td gt         lt td class  w-25  gt Col 4 lt  td gt       lt  tr gt     lt  thead gt     lt tbody gt       lt tr gt

Ok  I just figured out where was the problem - in Bootstrap is set up as a default value width for select element  thus  the solution is   tr  something     td       select         width  90px                Anything else doesn t work me

Hard to judge without the context of the page html or the rest of your CSS  There might be a zillion reasons why your CSS rule is not affecting the td element   Have you tried more specific CSS selectors such as  tr somethingontrlevel td something     width  90px      This to avoid your CSS being overridden by a more specific rule from the bootstrap css    by the way  in your inline css sample with the style attribute  you misspelled width - that could explain why that try failed
