HTML <table> width Attribute

The HTML <table> width attribute is used to specify the width of a table.

The width can be set in pixels or percentage.
It controls how wide the table appears on the webpage.
In modern HTML, CSS width property is preferred instead of the width attribute.

Syntax:

<table width="pixels | %">

pixels: It sets the width of the table in terms of pixels.
%: It sets the width of the table in terms of percentage (%).

Note: The <table> width Attribute is not supported by HTML 5.

Example: In this example we defines a table with a border and width of 250 pixels. It contains headings for "Name", "Age", and "Branch" with one row of data.
