Browser Alignment

Hi Everyone; I'm fairly new to Dreamweaver but I know that does not excuse me from using a table on my website!! I'm using the latest CC 2018.

But I have used a 3 column table with the intention of holding the content together in a line - which it does perfectly.

I have wrapped the table in a div and then auto aligned the left and right margins of the div, this centres the table in dreamweaver but as soon as I open in browser the table is still left aligned.

Is there something I am missing? Any help would be appreciated.

What's in your Structure.css file?

I'm seeing a hodgepodge of css and html attribute styling. You really shouldn't do that unless you're making an html email. All of your styles should be handled by your css and then the html attributes should be removed to keep them from interfering with the css.

To stop a guessing game, it is best if you show your code.

There's really no need to wrap a table inside another container to center it. You can center a <table> the same way you center a <div> tag, by first setting a width that is less than 100%, and adding the margins...

.centered-table {

     width:600px;

     margin:0 auto;

}

<table class="centered-table">
     <tr>

          <td>Oh, hello there.</td>

     </tr>

     ...

</table>

If you're uploading the page to your server and losing the centering there, it's possible you've forgotten to also upload your .css file where the centering is stored.

As Ben suggests, sharing your code will be the best way to get a quick and correct answer to your issue.

Hi guys, thank you for replying. I get the feeling it is a bit of a mess to be honest but here it is:

}

#wrapperdashboard {

    display: block;

    width: 960px;

    margin-right: auto;

    margin-left: auto;

    border-color: #000000;

    left: auto;

    right: auto;

}

I know you're just starting out & beginner mistakes are expected --  we've all made them .   The big tragedy though  is your page contains no REAL TEXT.  If images fail to load for whatever reason, your site visitors won't see anything.  More importantly, search engines won't find you and  images of text are useless to translators and screen readers

Below is a centered table.

<!doctype html>

<html lang="en">

    color: #fff;

    text-align: center

}

table {

    width: 75%;

    border: none;

    margin: 0 auto;

}

caption { color: red; }

th { color: lightblue; }

/**image animation**/

table img {

    max-width: 100%;

    border: 2px solid #222;

    display: block;
