I have div, which has all content aligned to center:
<div align="center">
<table><tr><td>.....
But align is not more valid attribute. So, i have changed to class or style:
<div style="text-align:center;">
But it is not the same as before. Table is now aligned to left and not to center. Obvious text-align is not equivalent to old center attribute. How should i write style to achieve the same functionality as before with center attribute?
Just use margin: 0 auto on your table to center it.
See HERE
To align the table to center of the parent element of the table, just use:
table {
margin: 0 auto;
}
Also to align the table to center in respect of height of the parent element of table, you can give line-height same as height of the parent element.
As mentioned above in the comment you need to align the table
Add this to your CSS:
table.center {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
And then add this to your table:
<table class="center">
...
</table>
Perhaps take a look here?
I've used that several times to vertically center content.
Then take a look at bootstrap. They have mix-ins that take care of the horizontal alignment (here).
Edit:
#mattytommo has a good answer for the horizontal alignment.
If you want to align table to center, use the following
<table align="center">
This will align your table to centre of div.
You can try this:-
div{
width:90%;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
}
or
<div style="width:90%;margin:0 auto;text-align:center">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>header</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>data</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div

I've got table elements within a table. The parent table has a width of 100% and the child table has a width of 300px. I want the child to be centered, so I tried with css to set it with text-align: center;. (https://jsfiddle.net/wrzo7LLb/1/)
<table class="body">
<tr>
<td class="align center"> <!-- CSS text-align: center; -->
<table class="wrapper">
<tr>
<td>
some text
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
But that doesn't work. And then I tried it with align="center" and that did work. (https://jsfiddle.net/wrzo7LLb/)
<table class="body">
<tr>
<td align="center"> <!-- align="center" -->
<table class="wrapper">
<tr>
<td>
some text
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Could someone explain to me why align="center" works, but text-align: center; doesn't?
I know I can set margin: 0 auto;, but that doesn't explain why align="center" works and the other doesn't.
Semantically (and technically) speaking, text-align should only be used to align inline level elements, of which a table is not.
The align property on a table doesn't refer to text but to
align
This enumerated attribute indicates how the table must be aligned inside the containing document.
As per the table docs above, align has been deprecated, and it is suggested that you do indeed use margin:0 auto; to "center" a table element
Usage Note
Do not use this attribute, as it has been deprecated. The <table> element should be styled using CSS. Set margin-left and margin-right to auto or margin to 0 auto to achieve an effect that is similar to the align attribute.
text-align:center only works for inline elements and obviously table is a table element.
set and try again
table table {
display:inline;
}
A typical css alignment problem:
<table style="width:100px"> <!-- Not actually necessary; just makes the example text shorter -->
<tr>
<td style="padding:0;">
<div style="height:100%; width:100%; background-color:#abc; position:relative;">
test of really long content that causes the height of the cell to increase dynamically
</div>
</td>
<td>
<div>text</div>
<div ></div>
<img style="vertical-align: bottom;" src="https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-prn2/1118727_100000298033362_1412277170_q.jpg"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
http://jsfiddle.net/R5TAY/
How would I make the image always appear on the bottom of the table, and the text to stay in the middle?
Thanks
Based on your example, you could use positioning to achieve what you want:
td {
position:relative;
}
img {
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
}
jsFiddle example
You can set the vertical-align css property:
#your_td {
vertical-align: bottom;
}
See this FIDDLE
Set valign to bottom
<td valign="bottom">
Hope this helps
I needed some help with table alignment. I haven't coded for a while, and can't figure out what I am doing wrong here. I have these divs setup, and a table in one, but for some reason the table does not align to the middle. It just aligns with the left side of the table, and the rest leads off to the right. Here is my code:
<div id="SlideShow_Wrapper" align="center">
<div id="SlideShow_Background" align="center">
<div align="center" id="SlideShow">
<table border="1" align="center" >
<tr align="center">
<td style="padding-right:15px;"><img src="LeftArrow.png" /></td>
<td><img id="SlideShow_Picture" src="Ore_Background.png" /></td>
<td style="padding-left:15px;"><img src="RightArrow.png" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here is my css:
#SlideShow {
margin:0px auto;
}
#SlideShow_Background {
background-image:url(Stone.png);
border-radius:10px;
width:820px;
height:420px;
}
#SlideShow_Wrapper {
padding-top:50px;
}
I tried some things out, and when I remove the SlideShow_Background, the table aligns as normally, but when I add it back in, the table just aligns to the right. Any help would be nice
EDIT:
I want the table to be centered, not off to the right. This jsFiddle shows it, but without the content, but you can see what I mean.
And this next link is how I want it to be, jsfiddle.net/fuECu see how it's centered, But I cant find a way to do that without taking off the SlideShowbackground div.
Your table is centered already. The SlideShow_Background division just create a horizontal scroll bar on small screens. But still if you scroll the bar to the middle, you will see that table is on the center.
Still if you want the table to be centered, you don't have to remove the SlideShow_Background. Just remove the height and width attribute of the div. And it will be set to auto.
#SlideShow_Background{
background-image:url(Stone.png);
border-radius:10px;
}

How to center the contents of an HTML table?

I have created a simple table and want to align the td elements in center but align:center in css doesn't seem to work
.cTable td{
align:center;
}
<table border='1' id='mytable' class="cTable">
<tbody>
<tr><th>Claim ID</th><th>Status</th></tr>
<tr><td align="center">22</td><td>333</td></tr>
<tr><td>22</td><td>333</td></tr>
<tr><td>22</td><td>333</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
It should be text-align, not align
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/text-align
What worked for me is the following (in view of the confusion in other answers):
<td style="text-align:center;">
<input type="radio" name="ageneral" value="male">
</td>
The proposed solution (text-align) works but must be used in a style attribute.
margin:auto; text-align, if this won't work - try adding display:block; and set there width:200px; (in case your TD is too small).
Give a style inside the <td> element or in your CSS file, like this: vertical-align: middle;
I personally didn't find any of these answers helpful. What worked in my case was giving the element float:none and position:relative. After that the element centered itself in the <td>.
The best way to center content in a table (for example <video> or <img>) is to do the following:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="100%">
<tr>
<td>Video Tag 1 Here</td>
<td>Video Tag 2 Here</td>
</tr>
</table>
When you create a basic HTML table everything seems to stay in center of the table. I don't want this how can i stop this from happening?
I wish to use a 2 column html table one for column for a sidebar one for content. Because i have so much content the sidebar text (which is little) gos to the middle of column.
How do i align the text to stay to the top left of the columns?
In the <td> element that contains the lefthand sidebar, try specifying a style that aligns text to the top:
<td style="vertical-align: top">(Sidebar HTML code here)</td>
You can control the alignment of columns directly in your markup by using:
<td style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;"></td>
or even just
<td align="left"></td>
This will work fine for a 2-column table, but Piccolomomo has the better plan if you are going to use it a lot. This might help you further if you need it:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp
You can use CSS to change text aligning inside your table:
td {
text-align: left;
vertical-align: top;
}
For aligning text in table you have to use css.Without css or any style sheet you can't make them align.So you can use inline css or external css for that.
<style type="text/css">
table td{
text-align:left;
vertical-align:top;
}
</style>
<table>
<tr valign="top">
<td align="left">
Side Bar
</td>
<td>
Content
</td>
</tr>
</table>
