使用jQuery最大化表中统一宽度单元格的数量

I would like to create a table using divs where each row holds a maximum number of uniformly sized cells based on the text content in the cells. In the end, I will load an array of strings using AJAX. I would like to be able to determine what the maximum cell width would be for the longest string if the browser were to render them apriori, and then use that information to calculate the max number of cells to place in a row if all the cells were to have the width sized to the maximum.I would like to create a table using divs where
