title: Which is the better way of specifying HTML Fixed Column width (width or style attribute)
body: <p>I would like to ask what is the better way of specifying HTML column width? the width attribute or the style attribute? Assuming I am using IE 6. Does IE render the width attribute better than style? </p>
  
  <p>By width attribute</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;table width="900"&gt;
      &lt;tr&gt;
          &lt;td width="450"&gt;A&lt;/td&gt;
          &lt;td colspan="2" width="450"&gt;B&amp;C&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;/tr&gt;
      ....
  &lt;/table&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>OR by style attribute</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;table style="width:900px;"&gt;
      &lt;tr&gt;
          &lt;td style="width: 450px;"&gt;A&lt;/td&gt;
          &lt;td colspan="2" style="width: 450px;"&gt;B&amp;C&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;/tr&gt;
      ....
  &lt;/table&gt;
  </code></pre>
