HTML tables can have different sizes for each column, row or the entire table.
Use the style
attribute with the width
or height
properties to specify the size of a table, row or column.
Example:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<style>
table, th, td {
border:1px solid black;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
</style>
<body>
<h2>100% wide HTML Table</h2>
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>John</td>
<td>Doe</td>
<td>80</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
To set the width of a table, add the style
attribute to the <table>
element:

<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
