Definition and Usage
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.
For practical reasons, it may be better not to specify the width, and use CSS
to apply the width
instead.
Browser Support

The width attribute is supported in all major browsers.
