My table has 2 rows with 3 columns, followed by a submit button. I would like the submit button to be in the center of the first 2 columns, but instead it is in the center of the 3 columns. How can I center it within the first 2 column?
<table>
<tr>
<td align="right">Label 1:</td>
<td align="left"><input type="text" name="input1"></td>
<td> a link</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Label 2:</td>
<td align="left"><input type="text" name="input2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3" align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
As mentioned in the comments, you'll need three columns in your last row, merging the first two with colspan. Also, don't use the deprecated align attribute.
.center {
text-align: center;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td align="right">Label 1:</td>
<td align="left"><input type="text" name="input1"></td>
<td> a link</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Label 2:</td>
<td align="left"><input type="text" name="input2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="center"><input type="submit" name="submit"></td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>

I want to achieve this:
and I did these with <td> tag but only col span is working correctly
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox"></td>
<td>hu043</td>
<td>7903</td>
<td>90df78</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4" rowspan="4"> </td>
</tr>
The purpose of rowspan is to span existing rows, like you are spanning existing columns in your example.
If you will add some rows below, you will see it.
<tr>
<td colspan="4" rowspan="4"> </td>
</tr>
<tr style='height:20px;'></tr>
<tr style='height:20px;'></tr>
<tr style='height:20px;'></tr>
I have following table:
I can't make To and from columns to be equal - they should be half of row. I tried many different colspan cases, but these tds are not half of row.
How could I do that?
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan="5">
some text
<br>
</td>
<td colspan="6">
another text
<br>
</td>
<td colspan="6">
Logo
<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="8"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="position: relative; font-size: 13px;" colspan="12">
some text
</td>
</tr>
<tr style="height:30px;">
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="6">
<?php echo 'To');?>:</td>
<td colspan="6">
<?php echo 'From';?>:</td>
</tr>
First of all you need to understand the colspan property. colspan is used to manage the span of child col with respect to parent. This means if first has three and next has ONE , it means it needs colspan TWO to get in line with parent. You can find this by border='1' property to table
See here
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>
some text
<br>
</td>
<td >
another text
<br>
</td>
<td>
Logo
<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="position: relative; font-size: 13px;" colspan="3">
some text
</td>
</tr>
<tr style="height:30px;">
<td colspan="3"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php echo 'To');?>:</td>
<td colspan="2">
<?php echo 'From';?>:</td>
</tr>
Above you cans see my max colspan is THREE since the first has three rows

I'm creating a login form. Here's what I created:
<form action="loginform.php" method="POST" name="LoginForm">
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Username</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="username"></td>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" name="login"value="LOGIN!"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input type="password" name="pass"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="4" align="center">Register!</td>
</tr>
</table>
As you can see, my code fails to make the "LOGIN!" button align in the center in between the username and password alignment. I already used the colspan tag for it, but doesn't seem to work. What needs to be done here?
Also, I want the "Register!" link to align on the farthest right side of the table. How do I go about doing that? Thanks in advance.
Please note that tables should be used for tabular data only, but your table has some very odd row and colspans - your first row has 5 columns, second 4 and third 1 (with a rowspan of 4, even though you only have 3 rows)
I think you have got your rows and columns mixed up - try changing the rowspan to colspan and vice vera but changing the colspan to 5:
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Username</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="username"></td>
<td rowspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" name="login"value="LOGIN!"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input type="password" name="pass"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="5" align="center">Register!</td>
</tr>
</table>
Example
Try using text-align: center and text-align: right
I am trying to figure out how to get my text to not wrap when the browser window is maximized to a 24 inch monitor and minimized to a more regular size. I think if I set a fixed number of space for a cell within an HTML table that this will help but I don't know how...any ideas? My monitor is 24 inches and so minimizing it to a normal size causes wrapping. My main 3 areas of text that I wanted to get help with are:
1 <td colspan="90"><input name="Gift Wrapping" id="Gift Wrapping" type="checkbox" /> Gift wrapping? (Additional charge of 1.95 per box)</td>
2 <td colspan="40">If yes, note the text for the gift card:</td>
3<td colspan="150">$5.95 for 1-5 boxes, $10.95 for five or more boxes</td>
Whenever I open my webpage in different browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome) the text within these cells either fits nicely on one line or it wraps. I don't want it to wrap. I want them to look all the same on each browser and I just wondered is there a way to do this? Thanks!

Your using colspan incorrectly. You could try something like:
<TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="25%">Column 1</TD>
<TD WIDTH="75%">Column 2</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
Colspan is to allow that TD to go though the cells of other TDs. What you doing looks as if it would work much better with Divs and width's.
Not all of your TRs have the same number of columns in them and that is a must.
Try using div style="float: left; width: ###;" Use those as simple containers and set them to the width you want.
If you don't want your text to wrap you can always use:
TD { white-space:nowrap }
Otherwise If I want to apply custom rules, I normally add a class for each column, the ones you don't set widths for will be elastic, column 3 should take up the rest of the space e.g:
TD.c1 { width: 200px; }
TD.c2 { width: 200px; }
...
<td class="c1"></td>
<td class="c2"></td>
<td class="c3"></td>
How do I increase the width of a column in an HTML table?
Below is my code. I am trying to get the second <td> tag in each row to expand so that there is more space between the input text box (1st <td> tag) and the name of the cookie and it's price (3rd <td> tag). Any ideas?

You can do it in pixels or as a percentage:
<TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH="300">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="100">Column 1</TD>
<TD WIDTH="200">Column 2</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
or
<TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="25%">Column 1</TD>
<TD WIDTH="75%">Column 2</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
You would give the column a width, either using inline styles
<td style="width: 50%">
or, better, in a style sheet
td.column1 { width: 50% }
....
<td class="column1">
....
You can also specify padding for space between columns
td.column1 { padding-right: 64px }
by the way, the varying huge colspan values look very weird. What are they supposed to achieve?
If you need more space between table columns, you can use CSS margin/width properties with any value suitable for you. I would highly discourage including html visual formatting in your html code, albeit if you do, take the time to learn the meaning of some html properties, as "colspan" does not specify the width between tds, but combines them into one td.
<td style="width: 100px;">Cell data here</td>
Replace the number with whatever width you want. Note that the columns will be the max size throughout the table. So if column 2 is 200px in row 1 and 300px in row 2, the column will end up being 300px in all rows.
After you resolve the colspan issue that Jared Updike brought up, I'd check out using CSS and increasing the values for padding-left and padding-right.
