How To Control Table Widths?
Usually, browsers will calculate the table width based on
the content widths of table cells. If you want to control the width
of a table, you need to use the "width" attribute, which allows
you to set the table width in pixels or percentages of the parent element width.
Below is a tutorial example of using "width" attributes:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Table Width</title>
</head>
<body>
<h4>width="30"</h4>
<table border="1" width="30">
<tr><td>Description</td><td>Qty</td><td>Price</td></tr>
<tr><td>Email Account</td><td>10</td><td>$9.90</td></tr>
<tr><td>FYIcenter.com Ad</td><td>1</td><td>$99.00</td></tr>
<tr><td>1-year Access</td><td>1</td><td>$199.00</td></tr>
</table>
<h4>width="300"</h4>
<table border="1" width="300">
<tr><td>Description</td><td>Qty</td><td>Price</td></tr>
<tr><td>Email Account</td><td>10</td><td>$9.90</td></tr>
<tr><td>FYIcenter.com Ad</td><td>1</td><td>$99.00</td></tr>
<tr><td>1-year Access</td><td>1</td><td>$199.00</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
If you save the above document as table_width.html, and view it with
Internet Explorer, you will see two tables with different widths as shown below:
