hey, i've done kind of a lot with CSS but i've never come across this, so i was wondering if there was a way that you could horizontally align something (like the information within a table data cell) in css? besides like padding-left and padding-right..?

For your specific example, you can use the text-align property to center the information in that cell.

The best method I have found is to make an element a percentage width, for example 65%. Then you can use the margin-left property and set it to 17.5%. This is half of what is left (100 - 65 = 35 / 2 = 17.5), i.e. enough to have an equal margin on each side.

I hope this helps,


James

Hi

I use text-align: center in CSS and it works very well. Seems simpler to me than using margins.
