title: Html Table - Set Maximum width of a column without CSS
body: <p>Need  to Set 'maximum with' of 'Description' column in html table as  an percentage. When I tried with 'width'  ,  It will  take 30% for  the 'Description' column , when the  length of  description is less  than 30% as well. So need  to set 'max-width' not  the  'width' . But  following  piece  of  code  is  not  working. Can you please  help me.     </p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;table style='font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;' border='0' cellpadding='5'&gt;
    &lt;tbody&gt;
      &lt;tr&gt;
        &lt;th align='left'&gt;Number&lt;/th&gt;
        &lt;th align='left' max-width='30%'&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
        &lt;th align='left'&gt;Company&lt;/th&gt;
        &lt;th align='left'&gt;Next Number&lt;/th&gt;
        &lt;th align='left'&gt;Name&lt;/th&gt;
      &lt;/tr&gt;
      &lt;tr&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;123456&lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;Testing max width Testing max width Testing max width Testing max width Testing max width Testing max width Testing max width Testing max width &lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;ABCDE&lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;123456&lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;ABCDE&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;/tbody&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;
  </code></pre>
