Question about modelling <TABLE> layout by CSS.
If you have <TABLE> without width set then its width computed value will be
set to
'intrinsic-table-max-width' or to 'container-width' whichever is smaller.
<TABLE border=1 align=center>
<TR>
<TD>first cell</TD>
<TD>secons cell</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
My best guess that this behaviour could be described as
table { width:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; }
But we have this limitation:
"If 'width' is set to 'auto', any other 'auto' values become '0' and 'width'
follows from the resulting equality."
[http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#blockwidth]
My another guess: to use max-width:auto but 'auto' is not allowed in
max-width....
Any ideas of how to describe layouts like this?
