How to give table width and height in millimeters in HTML

Question

Is there a way to give HTML table width and height in millimeters?

<table border="1">
 <tr width="17mm">
        <td>gukgu</td>
        <td>gukgu</td>
 </tr>
</table> 

Is this works?

Answer 1

Yes, you can set widths in millimetres. However, setting a width on a <tr> element usually doesn't do anything. Instead, consider adding this style to the table: width:17mm; table-layout:fixed

Answer 2

You can using css, however it is only recommended for print. For display on screen, you use em, px or %.

<table border="1">
 <tr>
        <td style="width: 17mm;">gukgu</td>
        <td style="width: 17mm;">gukgu</td>
 </tr>
</table>
