Answer 1

You need to set this on the <td> elements.

You should also use text-align: center in css, not align = "center" in html.

Answer 2

If you want the center of the table to use:

.content-table { margin: 0 auto; } 

if you want to use centered text td:

 .content-table td { text-align: center; } 

Answer 3

while there are many ways to do with css, divs and style property etc. the easiest way is not to use align = "center", but to wrap the table in the <center> </center> :)

Note: The center element is deprecated in HTML5 .

Answer 4

there are two things you need to do

• need to have width in pixels or%

• margin: 0 auto; or in margin-left: auto and margin-right: auto

  .search-box table {height: 100%; width: 50%; margin: auto; }

Answer 5

You should use a CSS selector with the align = "center" attribute, as shown below:

 table[align="center"] { margin: 0 auto; }
