How do the CSS properties table-layout and width interact when styling a table?

  • They work independently of each other. 
  • table-layout determines how widths are calculated. 
  • table-layout overrides width. 
  • width only applies if table-layout is set to fixed. 
The table-layout property determines the algorithm used to lay out table cells, rows, and columns. When it's set to auto (the default), the browser calculates the width of the table and its cells to fit the content. When set to fixed, column widths are set by the width of the first row of cells, the table's width, and any specified column widths. Using fixed can allow for faster rendering in large tables.
