Abstract

Browsers have many built-in capabilities for automatically sizing columns in tables. This chapter shows how to harness these automatic features to shrinkwrap columns, size them to specific widths, size them proportionally to each other, size them proportionally to their content, size them equally, size them flexibly, and undersize or oversize them.
