For your design  it is common practice to use divs rather than a table  This way  your layout will be more maintainable and changeable through proper styling  It does take some getting used to  but it will help you a ton in the long run and you will learn a lot about how styling works  However  I will provide you with a solution to the problem at hand   In your stylesheets you have margins and padding set to 0 pixels  This overrides your align  center  attribute  I would recommend taking these settings out of your CSS as you don t normally want all of your elements to be affected in this manner  If you already know what s going on in the CSS  and you want to keep it that way  then you have to apply a style to your table to override the previous sets  You could either give the table a class or you can put the style inline with the HTML  Here are the two options    With a class    lt table class  centerTable  gt  lt  table gt    In your style css file you would have something like this    centerTable   margin  0px auto       Inline with your HTML    lt table style  margin  0px auto   gt  lt  table gt    If you decide to wipe out the margins and padding being set to 0px  then you can keep align  center  on your  lt td gt  tags for whatever column you wish to align
