table-layout

The table-layout CSS property sets the algorithm used to lay out <table> cells, rows, and columns.

Values: This property is specified as one of the following keyword values:

Values: auto The automatic table layout algorithm is used. The widths of the table and its cells are adjusted to fit the content. Most browsers use this algorithm by default.

Values: fixed The fixed table layout algorithm is used. When using this keyword, the table’s width needs to be specified explicitly using the width property. If the value of the width property is set to auto or is not specified, the browser uses the automatic table layout algorithm, in which case the fixed value has no effect. The fixed table layout algorithm is faster than the automatic layout algorithm because the horizontal layout of the table depends only on the table’s width, the width of the columns, and borders or cell spacing. The horizontal layout doesn’t depend on the contents of the cells because it depends only on explicitly set widths.

Syntax example: table-layout: auto;
