How to control table width?

I tried to control width of a table to 50% as the following, but failed.

(% style="width:50%" %)
|= a |= b
| a | b

Any suggestions?

Open your browser dev tools and check the CSS used. Then you can find what to override.

After remove tableedit extension, problem solved. 3x

I have the same problem, what was your solution? did you just uninstall the table edit extension and then used style="width:50%"

greetings

BTW forgot that we have a FAQ that might relate to this: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/AddTableBorders (see last points).

yes, uninstalled tableedit and it will work
