You have to specify left alignment on the table cell, and
not on the text.

This is entirely at your discretion.

Percentage measurements produce a so-called "liquid
Layout" that expands and contracts to fit the browser
window. Typically, the outermost table width is 100%.

Fixed measurements produce a fixed-width layout, which
many designers find easier to cope with.
