the entire table's data to begin rendering the table
or relies on the <span class="literal">table</span> element's
size attributes and uses the first row's cell widths
to begin rendering table content. When the attribute is set to
<span class="literal">auto</span>, the browser must load all of the table cells
and their content before the first row of data can be rendered,
causing a brief (but perhaps imperceptible) delay in drawing the
table. Setting the value to <span class="literal">fixed</span> allows table
rendering to begin sooner, which is helpful for large tables. If
content in succeeding rows is wider than the fixed column size, the
content is usually clipped unless you set the
<span class="literal">overflow</span> style attribute to
<span class="literal">visible</span> (but that will likely make a visual jumble
in adjacent cells).
