The width attribute is supported in all major browsers.


Definition and Usage

The <table> width attribute is not supported in HTML5. Use CSS instead.

The width attribute specifies the width of a table.

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

Tip: It may be better to NOT specify a width, and use CSS to apply the width instead.
