the width attribute does not work in the table, why?

Question

https://code.sololearn.com/WBg8zL0hvW3Q/?ref=app

the "height" attribute is applied to the "<th>" tag and the "width" attribute is not present

why?

Answer 1

In <table> context, use 'min-width' instead 'width' to force size (default behaviour try to not overflow available space and limit table width to available space -- instead you could set the explicit width required by the <table> element once added all borders, border-spacing and cell widths ^^)

Answer 2

@Lord Krishna:

'width' property is supported, but should only be respected if available width is enough ;P
