J. Center a Table

Tables are really good for organizing things on your page. I use tables just to get things lined up straight. If you are like me, however, you have wasted a lot of time trying to 'Center' a table on your page. I have tried putting a table inside the cell of another table and then centering the contents (the table) of that cell. Didn't work. I tried padding my cell. Didn't work. I tried..., well, just about anything I could think of. I finally found the solution. Simple.

1. Create your Table

2. Click the <HTML> button on the edit bar at the top of the page:

3. In the 'Edit HTML' dialogue box that opens, scroll down and find the <table style="...> tag:

4. Scroll over the entire 'table style' tag (it starts with a "<" ends with a ">" sign) ...

...and paste the following in its place:

5. Your table will now be centered. You can play around with the border settings (color, size, etc.) to make the table look like you want it to.
