Question

I have been trying to align contents of cells in a table column but unable to so. Can someone give me the solution.

Answer 1

Hmm, well I'm not exactly sure how to do it in strict XHTML, but if you want the easy way to do it, use:


Check http://www.w3schools.com. I'm sure they'll have the info there.

Answer 2

The css Fabian gave is correct.

Put it in an external style sheet and link it with
type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
or between and like this:


You have the options of left, right or center for text-align and top middle or bottom for vertical-align

Answer 3

How do you want to align them? Use CSS! Remember that the tds don't inherit from elsewhere! So you have to set alignment for td, as
td { [alignment stuff]... ]

...then use 'vertical-align:' to go up and down and 'text-align' to go right and left for your alignment stuff within the td setting!

Answer 4

you should be using CSS for this as it is styling.

td {
text-align: left;
vertical-align: top;
}

Answer 5

Your text should be centered.
