table-layout: auto | fixed
- Default table-layout is auto
- Table attempts to use the widths given and if insufficient,
calculates width based on the size of table elements
- If table-layout is set to fixed, browser assumes you know what you are doing
and uses faster algorithm (in theory)
and it overflows:
| 1234567891234 |
12345678901234 |
IE7 truncates the text, IE8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera let it over-run. All keep the table size fixed.
Only use if you know what you are doing. Speed up is not that great for small tables.
