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>

How to center a table in HTML

A table is an excellent way to present a lot of information in an organized way. Sales data, web page traffic, stock market trends, and student’s grades are examples of information that are often presented in tables.

When adding a table to a web page using HTML, it may be more visually appealing to center it on the page. Centering text and pictures is usually done via the text-align class or through CSS, but centering a table requires a different approach. Details are provided below for how to center a table on a web page.

Centering a table in HTML

When adding a table to a web page, by default, it’s aligned to the left side of the page or container, as shown below.

HITS	MONTH	TOTAL INCREASE
324,497	January 1998	—
436,699	February 1998	112,172

The HTML source code for the table above is the following.

 
 
HITS
 
MONTH
 
TOTAL INCREASE
 
 
324,497
 
January 1998
 
-
 
 
436,699
 
February 1998
 
112,172
 
 

To center this table, you would need to add ;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto; to the end of the style attribute in the tag. The table tag would look like the following.

HITS	MONTH	TOTAL INCREASE
324,497	January 1998	—
436,699	February 1998	112,172
