Attribute Values

Value Description
pixels Length in pixels (like "100px", or just "100").
percent Length in percent of entire table (like "20%").
relative_length Relative length is a W3C standard that is not implemented in any of the major browsers.Relative length is a way of splitting all available pixels (if a table length is 100 pixels, and the first column uses 20 px, and the second uses 50%, available pixels will be 30px). The available pixels are shared using parts, one part is set like this: "1*". The available pixels are divided into the set parts.
Example: If 30 pixels are available, you can have one relative length "1*" and one "2*", this will be interpreted as 10 and 20 pixels (think of this as 1* = 1 part, and 2* = 2 parts).


Browser Support

The attribute is supported in all major browsers.
Note: None of the browsers support the relative_length value of this attribute.
