How To Control Horizontal Alignment in Table Cells?
By default, text in all table cells are aligned to the left horizontally.
If you want to control horizontal alignment yourself, you need to use
the "align" attribute in a "tr" element or a "td" element:
- <tr align="left|center|right"> - Set horizontal alignment
to the left, center, or right for all cells in the row.
- <td align="left|center|right"> - Set horizontal alignment
to the left, center, or right for this cell.
Below is a tutorial example of "align" attributes:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Horizontal Alignment</title>
</head>
<body>
<h4>Online Order</h4>
<table border="1" width="300">
<tr align="right"><td>Description</td><td>Qty</td>
<td>Price</td></tr>
<tr><td>Email Account</td><td align="right">10</td>
<td align="right">$9.90</td></tr>
<tr><td>FYIcenter.com Ad</td><td align="right">1</td>
<td align="right">$99.00</td></tr>
<tr><td>1-year Access</td><td align="right">1</td>
<td align="right">$199.00</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
If you save the above document as horizontal_alignment.html, and view it with
Internet Explorer, you will see that quantity cells and price cells are aligned
the right side as shown below:
