HTML Table Sizes



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.

HTML Table Width
To set the width of a table, add the style
attribute to the <table> element:

Example
Set the width of the table to 100%:

<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></table>

Note: Using a percentage as the size unit for a width means
how wide will this element be compared to its parent element, which in this case
is the <body>
element.


HTML Table Column Width


 
 
 


 
 
 


 
 
 


To set the size of a specific column, add the style
attribute on a <th> or
<td> element:

Example
Set the width of the first column to 70%:

<table style="width:100%"> 
<tr>    <th style="width:70%">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></table>

HTML Table Row Height


 
 
 


 
 
 


 
 
 


To set the height of a specific row, add the style
attribute on a table row element:

Example
Set the height of the second row to 200 pixels:

<table style="width:100%"> 
<tr>    <th>Firstname</th>
    <th>Lastname</th>     <th>Age</th>
 
</tr> 
<tr style="height:200px">    <td>Jill</td>
    <td>Smith</td>     <td>50</td>
 
</tr>  <tr>    <td>Eve</td>
    <td>Jackson</td>     <td>94</td>
  </tr></table>
