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 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.
