width

Width (NISO JATS table model)

This attribute can be used within a NISO JATS table (based on and designed to be converted easily to the XHTML 1.1 table model) to specify component width (as defined in the XHTML 1.1 table model to take advantage of existing software for table handling).

Remarks

As specified in the NISO JATS table model (based on and easily converted to the XHTML 1.1 table model), this attribute should specify the desired width of the entire table. The attribute is intended for visual applications. When the value is a percentage value, the value is relative to the available horizontal space. In the absence of any width specification, table width is determined by the application. The width value can be either an integer number of pixels or a percentage of the width of the display window.

Used on Elements: <col>, <colgroup>, <table>
