Html table td vertical align center

How to Center the Text in the HTML Table Row

Earlier, it was possible to do this using the align attribute, however, it is deprecated in HTML5. Instead of using that attribute, use the CSS text-align property, or specify it through the inline style attributes.

In this snippet, we’ll show and explain examples with the text-align property and style attribute.

Create HTML

table> tr> td>Text td> td>Text td> tr> tr> td>Text td> td>Text td> tr> table>

Add CSS

table, table td < border: 1px solid #cccccc; > td < height: 80px; width: 160px; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; >

Now, you can see the full example.

Example of centering the text in table row using the CSS text-align property:

html> html> head> style> table, table td < border: 1px solid #cccccc; > td < height: 80px; width: 160px; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; > style> head> body> table> tr> td>Text td> td>Text td> tr> tr> td>Text td> td>Text td> tr> table> body> html>

Result

In our next example, we specify the text-align and vertical-align properties through the style inline attribute.

Example of centering the text in table row using the style attributes:

html> html> head> style> td < height: 80px; width: 160px; > style> head> body> table border="1"> tr> td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">Text td> td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">Text td> tr> tr> td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">Text td> td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">Text td> tr> table> body> html>

The style attribute overrides the styles set globally. It will override any style set in the tag or external style sheet.

Example of centering only elements:

html> html> head> style> table, table th, td < border: 1px solid #cccccc; border-collapse: collapse; > th, td < height: 80px; width: 160px; padding: 5px 10px; vertical-align: middle; > th < text-align: right; > td < text-align: center; > style> head> body> table> thead> tr> th>Heading th> th>Heading th> tr> thead> tbody> tr> td>Text td> td>Text td> tr> tr> td>Text td> td>Text td> tr> tr> td>Text td> td>Text td> tr> tbody> table> body> html>

vertical-align

The vertical-align CSS property sets vertical alignment of an inline, inline-block or table-cell box.

Try it

The vertical-align property can be used in two contexts:

• To vertically align an inline-level element’s box inside its containing line box. For example, it could be used to vertically position an image in a line of text.
• To vertically align the content of a cell in a table.

Note that vertical-align only applies to inline, inline-block and table-cell elements: you can’t use it to vertically align block-level elements.

Syntax

/* Keyword values */ vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: sub; vertical-align: super; vertical-align: text-top; vertical-align: text-bottom; vertical-align: middle; vertical-align: top; vertical-align: bottom; /* values */ vertical-align: 10em; vertical-align: 4px; /* values */ vertical-align: 20%; /* Global values */ vertical-align: inherit; vertical-align: initial; vertical-align: revert; vertical-align: revert-layer; vertical-align: unset; 

The vertical-align property is specified as one of the values listed below.

Values for inline elements

Parent-relative values

These values vertically align the element relative to its parent element:

Aligns the baseline of the element with the subscript-baseline of its parent.

Aligns the baseline of the element with the superscript-baseline of its parent.

Aligns the top of the element with the top of the parent element’s font.

Aligns the bottom of the element with the bottom of the parent element’s font.

Aligns the middle of the element with the baseline plus half the x-height of the parent.

Aligns the baseline of the element to the given length above the baseline of its parent. A negative value is allowed.

Aligns the baseline of the element to the given percentage above the baseline of its parent, with the value being a percentage of the line-height property. A negative value is allowed.

Line-relative values

The following values vertically align the element relative to the entire line:

Aligns the top of the element and its descendants with the top of the entire line.

Aligns the bottom of the element and its descendants with the bottom of the entire line.

For elements that do not have a baseline, the bottom margin edge is used instead.

Values for table cells

baseline (and sub , super , text-top , text-bottom , , and )

Aligns the baseline of the cell with the baseline of all other cells in the row that are baseline-aligned.

Aligns the top padding edge of the cell with the top of the row.

Centers the padding box of the cell within the row.

Aligns the bottom padding edge of the cell with the bottom of the row.

Negative values are allowed.

Basic example

HTML

div> An img src="frame_image.svg" alt="link" width="32" height="32" /> image with a default alignment. div> div> An img class="top" src="frame_image.svg" alt="link" width="32" height="32" /> image with a text-top alignment. div> div> An img class="bottom" src="frame_image.svg" alt="link" width="32" height="32" /> image with a text-bottom alignment. div> div> An img class="middle" src="frame_image.svg" alt="link" width="32" height="32" /> image with a middle alignment. div> 

CSS

img.top  vertical-align: text-top; > img.bottom  vertical-align: text-bottom; > img.middle  vertical-align: middle; > 

Result

#*  box-sizing: border-box; > img  margin-right: 0.5em; > p  height: 3em; padding: 0 0.5em; font-family: monospace; text-decoration: underline overline; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; >
