Question: Can some body explain why the TD element is taking width when its not allowed in strict mode.This is the code [Was not able to put code because of HTML rendering problem.]

```
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<html>

<head>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/xml+xhtml; charset=utf-8"/>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
    <td width="200">First</td>
    <td>Second</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

```

Answer: 
Even though it's deprecated per the spec the browser will still apply it because you specified it. It has to be lenient toward older docs which may otherwise have broken layouts if it didn't apply the attribute(s).
I did everything suggested but it still it is taking width attribute. I think it is because of browsers have to support it now but future browsers will throw an error on code like this
