Table Properties
These properties allow us to control the layout and presentation of table elements.
For further information about table formatting, see Table Formatting (p. 168).
The Ultimate CSS Reference 292
table-layout
table-layout: { auto | fixed | inherit } ;
This property specifies the layout
algorithm that??™s used to lay out a table
or an inline table (an element whose
display property has one of the values
table or inline-table). Two table
layout algorithms are available:
automatic and fixed. See Table
Formatting (p. 168) for details of these
algorithms.
Note that the automatic algorithm will
normally be used if the table??™s width is specified as auto, although user agents are
allowed (but not required) to attempt to use the fixed algorithm in these cases if so
specified by the CSS author. This special case only applies to tables, however, not
inline tables.
