Property Values
| Value |
Description |
| auto |
Automatic table layout algorithm (this is default):
- The column width is set by the widest unbreakable content in the cells
- Can be slow, since it needs to read through all the content in the table, before determining the final layout
|
| fixed |
Fixed table layout algorithm:
- The horizontal layout only depends on the table's width and the width of the columns, not the contents of the cells
- Allows a browser to lay out the table faster than the automatic table layout
- The browser can begin to display the table once the first row has been received
|
| inherit |
Specifies that the value of the table-layout property should be inherited from the parent element |
