Browser Support

All major browsers support the width attribute.

Definition and Usage

HTML5 does not support the <table> width attribute. Use CSS instead.

The width attribute specifies the width of a table.

If the width attribute is not set, the table takes up the space it needs to display the table data.

Tip:From a practical standpoint, it is better not to specify the width, but to use CSS to applywidth (width)。
