HTML. Setting width and height of the table.

Question

Colleagues, how can I set width and height of each cell of the table?
I’ve tried different ways:
1.
<table width=“20”>
<tr>
<td>text</td>
<td>text</td>
<td>text</td>
</tr>
</table>
and
2.
<table>
<tr width=“20”>
<td>text</td>
<td>text</td>
<td>text</td>
</tr>
</table>
3.
<table>
<tr>
<td width=“20”>text</td>
<td>text</td>
<td>text</td>
</tr>
</table>

But this argument (width=”...”) doesn’t work.
Other arguments (bgcolor, href) work correctly.
I haven’t find any information in forum.
Please help!

Answer 1

Роман Рубцов using width="20" Works fine , 20 is 20px . try something like % or 200

Answer 2

did you try this one?
<table style="width:100%"></table>

Answer 3

Without any unit "20" is considered as 20px , and 20 px is a lot less to see any effect , so try using a big value or % of parent width .

Answer 4

Роман Рубцов In your table tag you misspelled width as widft

Try this and you will see a change (only change this line then look at result)

<table style="width:100%" align="center" border="2">

Answer 5

characters “ ” don't work , use these double quotes , " "

Answer 6

<table style="widfh:20%" align="center" border="2">
<tr style="width:20px">
<td bgcolor="green">Первый</td>
<td bgcolor="yellow">Второй</td>
<td bgcolor="turquoise">Третий</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> <a href="https://www.sololearn.com/Course/HTML/?ref=app">HTML</a></td>
<td> <a href="https://www.sololearn.com/Course/CSS/?ref=app">CSS</a></td>
<td> <a href="https://www.sololearn.com/Course/JavaScript/?ref=app">JavaScript</a></td>
</tr>
</table>

It doesn,t work still. All the other arguments work but neither (width) nor (style) work.
Colleags, have you any other ideas - what’s wrong with them?
