There are two very different algorithms for determining the widths of table columns:
the fixed table layout algorithm and the automatic table layout algorithm. These are
specified with the table-layout property (which takes values of fixed, for fixed
layouts, and auto, for automatic layouts); its initial value is auto. If the table??™s width
is specified as auto, the automatic table layout algorithm is normally used. In the
case of block-level tables (when display is set to table), user agents are allowed
to use the fixed table layout algorithm anyway, but they aren??™t required to.
With the fixed table layout algorithm, the widths of columns and of the table are
not governed by the contents of the table??™s cells. Instead, the width of each column
is determined as follows:
?–  Column objects whose width is not auto set the width for that column.
?–  A cell in the first row, whose width is not auto, sets the width of the column it
belongs to. If the cell spans more than one column, the width is divided over
the columns.
