in html when you put align=center in a td tag the text aligns to the center of the tag but the same wouldn't work in style for example:
<td style='align:center' >
or
<td style='vertical-align:center;'>
or
<td style='text-align:center'>
what is the equivalent of align in css?It should be text-align:center.Originally posted by amahmood
<td style='vertical-align:center;'> The keywords for vertical-align are baseline, sub, super, text-top, text-bottom, top, middle and bottom. There is no center.Yes, text-align:center worked fine. thanksNo
I made a mistake.
text-align:center, aligns the text inside the table to center but doesn't align the table itself.
I am looking for css equivalent of ALIGN='CENTER' in something like this:
<TABLE ALIGN='CENTER'>Then just apply "text-align:center" to the table tagwell, you see
this does what i want:
<table align='center'><tr><td>my first table</td></tr></table>
but this doesn't.
<table style='text-align:center'><tr><td>my second table</td></tr></table>
the second one align the text (or perhaps every thing else) inside the table.
Thanks anyway.The text-align CSS property only works on inline elements, like text, span, strong, em, etc. A table is a block level element. A Block level element is centered by setting its left and right margins to auto.
Can we see the page you're working on? That might help in solving the problem too.
