To center this table, you would need to add ;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto; to the end of the style attribute in the <table> tag. The table tag would look like the following. Changing the style attribute in the <table> tag, as shown above, results in the table being centered on the web page, as shown below.
We can use the shorthand property margin and set it to auto for aligning the table at the center rather than using the margin-left and margin-right property. Instead of aligning the table to center, the text-align: center; property only centers the table content, such as the text inside the table.
One of the most common ways to center a table is to set both the bottom and top margins to 0, and the left and right margins to auto. If you're after a table that's an exact width, you may do this as you usually would and the automatic margin will divide the space left over.
Try:
table {
width: 50%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
or:
table {
width: 200px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
BTW, this sets this for all tables. You might want to have the properties on a more specific selector (like table.someclass).
