@davidsgrogan This is UA specific, whatever Blink feels the largest table is possible, this going to vary browser to browser based and also may change based on the available hardware. This is not new to allow UAs to do their own optimizations based on their engine as no one can actually do an infinite table as memory is limited. We could if you'd like, add some terminology similar to Grid: > Since memory is limited, UAs may clamp the possible size of the grid to be within a UA-defined limit, dropping all lines outside that limit. If a grid item is placed outside this limit, its grid area must be clamped to within this limited grid. Ultimately, I don't think this is the largest hurdle in tables as a calc/layout of a table of this size is going to be costly so most usecases will probably result in the author batch this information into smaller tables so this probably won't be hit anyways. And since you have the smallest max, my suspicion is you'd probably know more than us since your users would see the content clipping if anyone would build a table this large. -- GitHub Notification of comment by gregwhitworth Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1501#issuecomment-307857184 using your GitHub account
