  No it applies the width that you set on the column to a temporary table that DataTables will create to get the required widths for the cells. This is done because the browser 999 times out of 1000 will modify the width that you set for one reason or another. In your screenshot for example the text simply can't be made any smaller (the third line of the first Url cell is forcing the width).
  
  How about enabling x-scrolling in DataTables using sScrollX ?

  the fix was to assign a classname to the column using sClass
  
  [code]
  { "sClass": "url"}
  [/code]
  
  and then within the page view add a style definition for url
  
  [code]
  .url {
  max-width: 170px;
  word-wrap: break-word;
  }
  [/code]
