<table class="table-auto ...">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Song</th>
      <th>Artist</th>
      <th>Year</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td>Manic Depression</td>
        <td>Jimi Hendrix</td>
        <td>1967</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>(Ballad Of) The Hip Death Goddess</td>
        <td>Ultimate Spinach</td>
        <td>1968</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Sonic Prayer</td>
        <td>Earthless</td>
        <td>2017</td>
      </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Fixed

Use table-fixed to allow the table to ignore the content and use fixed widths for columns. The width of the first row will set the column widths for the whole table.

You can manually set the widths for some columns and the rest of the available width will be divided evenly amongst the columns without explicit width.

Song	Artist	Year
Manic Depression	Jimi Hendrix	1967
(Ballad Of) The Hip Death Goddess	Ultimate Spinach	1968
Sonic Prayer	Earthless	2017

<table class="table-fixed ...">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Song</th>
      <th>Artist</th>
      <th>Year</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td>Manic Depression</td>
        <td>Jimi Hendrix</td>
        <td>1967</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>(Ballad Of) The Hip Death Goddess</td>
        <td>Ultimate Spinach</td>
        <td>1968</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Sonic Prayer</td>
        <td>Earthless</td>
        <td>2017</td>
      </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Applying conditionally

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:table-fixed to apply the table-fixed utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<table class="md:table-fixed">
  <!-- ... -->
