Note: Wikipedia:HTML 5#Table attributes. CSS to replace obsolete attributes for borders, padding, spacing, etc. Add a border around a table using the CSS property border: thickness style color;, for example border:3px dashed red. This example uses a solid (non-dashed) gray border that is one pixel wide:
width The width (thickness) of the border (default is 1px). style The border's style solid (default if the parameter is not used), dotted, dashed, double, groove, ridge, inset or outset. style2 Additional CSS properties can be used in this template. color The border's color (default #ddd, otherwise recommend a named color).
For years in HTML, a table has always forced an implicit line-wrap (or line-break). So, to keep a table within a line, the workaround is to put the whole line into a table, then embed a table within a table, using the outer table to force the whole line to stay together. Consider the following examples: Wikicode (showing table forces line-break)
See the Width section of Help:Table.To summarize, max-width is the preferred way to limit widths on tables. It works on divs too. Note though that in both tables and divs there needs to be spaces in long lines of text or wikitext.
Another way to fix the problem is to copy the table wikitext to a text editor such as freeware NoteTab Light. The following method works for tables with flag templates. In the table wikitext do a mass replace of }}|| to }}^P|. ^P is the NoteTab Light code for a line break. That puts the row header cells on a separate line in the wikitext.
A border of 2px (1px width on each side) corresponds to a 5%. Therefore, with a 2px border, the width needs to be 95% for the table to fit within the screen. Since it's possible that some tables might not have a border, correction on the individual page could be made after substitution. Another way to create a two column table is like this:
width The width (thickness) of the border (default is 1px). style The border's style solid (default if the parameter is not used), dotted, dashed, double, groove, ridge, inset or outset. style2 Additional CSS properties can be used in this template. color The border's color (default #ddd, otherwise recommend a named color).
