XHTML 1.0 Strict Table Width Help

[lRhyss]

Okay so I've never worked with tables in xhtml 1.0 strict, so I have a question.

When I validate my code it says:

"there is no attribute "width" <th width="21%" scope="col">Name of Artist</th>"

I need the width as %'s for a fluid layout, the answer is probably simple and I probably look stupid but when I google it everyones like "use jquery" and I"m like no, I want it pure html & css.

Any help is appreciated, thanks xo

<th style="width:20%;">

Thanks, but, I have different width for each column (sorry, should have mentioned earlier):

<table width="80%" border="1">    <tr>
      <th width="21%" scope="col">Name of Artist</th>
      <th width="25%" scope="col">Location</th>
      <th width="21%" scope="col">Date</th>
      <th width="15%" scope="col">Start Time</th>
      <th width="18%" scope="col">End Time</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Billie-Jean Heslop</td>
      <td>Victoria and Albert</td>
      <td><div align="center">11th November 2014</div></td>
      <td><div align="center">10:00 AM</div></td>
      <td><div align="center">5:00 PM</div></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Billie-Jean Heslop</td>
      <td>British Museum</td>
      <td><div align="center">15th November 2014</div></td>
      <td><div align="center">1:00 PM</div></td>
      <td><div align="center">6:00 PM</div></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Billie-Jean Heslop</td>
      <td>National Gallery</td>
      <td><div align="center">20th November 2014</div></td>
      <td><div align="center">10:00 AM</div></td>
      <td><div align="center">4:00 PM</div></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Robert MacPherson</td>
      <td>National Gallery</td>
      <td><div align="center">29th November 2014</div></td>
      <td><div align="center">1:00 PM</div></td>
      <td><div align="center">4:00PM</div></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Charlie Parvin</td>
      <td>Brtish Museum</td>
      <td><div align="center">20th January 2015</div></td>
      <td><div align="center">9:00 AM</div></td>
      <td><div align="center">12:00 PM</div></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Charlie Parvin</td>
      <td>British Museum</td>
      <td><div align="center">21st January 2015</div></td>
      <td><div align="center">9:00 AM</div></td>
      <td><div align="center">12:00 PM</div></td>
    </tr>
  </table>

so would it be:

<th width="21%" scope="col">Name of Artist</th>
      <th style = "width:25%" scope="col">Location</th>
      <th style = "width:21%" scope="col">Date</th>
      <th style = "width:15%" scope="col">Start Time</th>
      <th style = "width:18%" scope="col">End Time</th>

[scottish]

Then use the style attribute in each instead of the width?

so;

<th style="width:21%;">...</th><th style="width:25%;">...</th> etc

Sorry yeah I realised then edited my last post after you replied haha, thanks man!

+ rep

Edit:

@scottish, also:

"there is no attribute "align" <td><div align="center">11th November 2014</div></td>"

would it be style = "width:20%, align="center" ?

Stop using XHTML standards and stop caring about being standards compliant.

[scottish]

Didn't see edit

text-align:center;

would be the CSS for it, so <div style="text-align:center;">

It's an assignment, I need to use xhtml, or I wouldn't be using the ****.

Tell whoever set the assignment that XHTML is a pointless standard because it's only useful if everyone were using it everywhere.
