Horizontal centering is easy  You just need to set both margins to  auto    table     margin-left  auto    margin-right  auto      Vertical centering usually is achieved by setting the parent element display type to table-cell and using vertical-align property  Assuming you have a  lt div class  wrapper  gt  around your table    wrapper     display  table-cell    vertical-align  middle      More detailed information may be found on http   www w3 org Style Examples 007 center  If you need support for older versions of Internet Explorer  I do not know what works in what version of this strange and rarely used browser  -    then you may want to search the web for more information  like  http   www jakpsatweb cz css css-vertical-center-solution html  just a first hit  which seems to mention IE

I ve been using this little cheat for a while now  You might enjoy it  nest the table you want to center in another table    lt table height 100  width 100  gt   lt td align center valign center gt     add your table here    lt  td gt   lt  table gt    the align and valign put the table exactly in the middle of the screen  no matter what else is going on

For horizontal alignment  No CSS   Just insert an align attribute inside the table tag   lt table align  center  gt  lt  table
