When the GANNT view is being used, how could one resize the columns using jQuery without using the generated controlid (like in this example)? I'm looking for a way to do this in a re-usable javascript function.

I'm thinking to be able to find a control that has ListViewWebPartJSGrid in its id. It is possible that there would be more than one on the page, but that would work out.

[update]

Okay, I figured out how to fetch the control id (you can see the color change):

var $trackingGridID = $("[id$=_ListViewWebPartJSGrid_leftpane_mainTable]").attr("id");
$('#' + trackingGridID).css("background-color", "blue");

//this will fetch:  ctl00_ctl21_g_c3e5fead_d466_4448_9648_dcb92778921d_ListViewWebPartJSGrid_leftpane_mainTable

Now that I have the ID, it is a matter of figuring out how to modify the column widths...

But I want to do something like this:

function SetColumnWidths(column1, column2, column3)...

This will modify the width of each column (except for the little "eyebrows"):

$('#' + trackingGridID + " th[role='columnheader']").css("width", "400");

This will fetch the row:

var thisrow = $('#' + trackingGridID).find("tr:eq(2)"); //fetches row by index
$(thisrow).css("background-color", "blue");
    

Here we can fetch an individual cell by index:

var thiscell = $('#' + trackingGridID).find("td:eq(6)"); //fetches cell by index
$(thiscell).css("background-color", "yellow");

I'm still stumped as to the columns however:
