How to center align text in table cells in HTML?
We use the CSS property text-align, to center align text in table cells. We use inline, internal style sheet for text alignment in table cells.
We can also change the align-value to left and right.
Syntax
Following is the syntax to center align text in tag of the table.
Example 1
Given below is the example to center align text in table cells in HTML.
DOCTYPE html> html> head> meta charset="UTF-8"> meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> style> table,tr,th,td < border:1px solid black; >style> head> body> table style="width: 50%"> caption style="text-align: center; ">Employeescaption> tr> th style="text-align: center">EmployeeNameth> th style="text-align: center">EmployeeIdth> tr> tr> td style="text-align: center">Yadavtd> td style="text-align: center">022td> tr> tr> td style="text-align: center">Abdultd> td style="text-align: center">025td> tr> tr> td style="text-align: center">Jasontd> td style="text-align: center">208td> tr> table> body> html>

Center a table with CSS
The «align» attribute has been deprecated, however, in favor of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and this is a good thing. However, it’s not so obvious how to center a table using CSS.
The obvious way might appear to use the CSS «text-align: center;» somewhere, maybe like one of these:
OR, if you get really desperate,
None of these will work. The table itself will be left-aligned, but all the content in the table cells will be centered.
Why? Because «text-align» applies to inline content, not to a block-level element like «table».
Method 1
To center a table, you need to set the margins, like this:
table.center { margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; } At this point, Mozilla and Opera will center your table. Internet Explorer 5.5 and up, however, needs you to add this to your CSS as well:
Method 2
If you want your table to be a certain percentage width, you can do this:
table#table1 { width:70%; margin-left:15%; margin-right:15%; } And then in your HTML/XHTML, you would do this:
Note that I was using an id to describe the table. You can only use an id once on a page. If you had many tables on a page that you wanted to be the same width and centered, you would do this in your CSS:
table.center { width:70%; margin-left:15%; margin-right:15%; } Method 3
If you want your table to be of fixed width, define your CSS like this:
div.container { width:98%; margin:1%; } table#table1 { text-align:center; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:100px; } tr,td {text-align:left;} Set «width:100px» to whatever width you need.
«text-align: center» is there for Internet Explorer, which won’t work without it. Unfortunately, «text-align: center» will center all the text inside your table cells, but we counter that by setting «tr» and «td» to align left.
In your HTML, you would then do this:
Once again, I’m using an id. If you need to center several tables the same way, use a class instead of an id.
