CSS Table Alignment
CSS Tutorial » CSS Table Alignment
To align the contents of a cell in a table we use the text-align property which sets the horizontal alignment (such as left, right or center alignment of the cell) of the content in <th> or <td>.
By default, the contents of the <th> elements in the table are aligned to the center, and the contents of the
<td> elements are left-aligned.
To center-align the content of <td> elements as well, use text-align: center:
Inline - by using the style attribute in HTML elements
Internal - by using a <style> element in the <head> section
External - by using an external CSS Style file as style.css
Internal CSS and HTML Syntax:
<style>
th, td { text-align: value; }
</style>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<th>title_text</th> <!-- each line one column -->
...
...
...
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td> <!-- each line one column -->
...
...
...
</tr>
</table>
</body>

CSS Table Align Center
To center a table, set margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto;.
For a better understanding we present an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table.center {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
h2 {
color:blue;
text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Table Align Center</h2>
<table class="center">
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Gender</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>a1</td>
<td>NickM</td>
<td>M</td>
<td>29</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>a2</td>
<td>SandyB</td>
