Give your Tables a Pre-Set Width

Tired of tables taking up too little/too much space? Want to set your table widths to a pre-defined amount? Have I got the tip for you!

When you write your <TABLE> tag to define a table, add this:

<TABLE WIDTH="width">

You can replace "width" with either a size in pixels or a percentage of the page. For example, the first table would have a width of 500 pixels, while the second table would have the width of 50% of the page width.

<TABLE WIDTH="500">

<TABLE WIDTH="50%">
