the equivalent of align in css?

@amahmoodMar 02.2005

in html when you put align=center in a td tag the text aligns to the center of the tag but the same wouldn’t work in style for example:
<td style=’align:center’ >
or
<td style=’vertical-align:center;’>
or
<td style=’text-align:center’>

what is the equivalent of align in css?

@pyroclasmMar 02.2005 — #It should be text-align:center.

[B]<td style='vertical-align:center;'>[/B][/QUOTE] The keywords for vertical-align are baseline, sub, super, text-top, text-bottom, top, middle and bottom. There is no center.

@amahmoodauthorMar 02.2005 — #Yes, text-align:center worked fine. thanks

@amahmoodauthorMar 10.2005 — #No

I made a mistake.

text-align:center, aligns the text inside the table to center but doesn't align the table itself.

I am looking for css equivalent of ALIGN='CENTER' in something like this:

<TABLE ALIGN='CENTER'>

@pyroclasmMar 11.2005 — #Then just apply "text-align:center" to the table tag

@amahmoodauthorMar 12.2005 — #well, you see

this does what i want:

<table align='center'><tr><td>my first table</td></tr></table>

but this doesn't.

<table style='text-align:center'><tr><td>my second table</td></tr></table>

the second one align the text (or perhaps every thing else) inside the table.

Thanks anyway.

@toicontienMar 12.2005 — #The text-align CSS property only works on inline elements, like text, span, strong, em, etc. A table is a block level element. A Block level element is centered by setting its left and right margins to auto.

Can we see the page you're working on? That might help in solving the problem too.
