You should be able to do it in CSS, but it only works in IE5Mac:

table {width: 500px;
   table-layout: fixed;}

td {width: 100px;
    overflow: auto;}

Now every TD that's too small to contain its content gets a scrollbar. The 
table is not resized to accommodate the content because of the table-layout: 
fixed.
