I have a simple php table of two columns. The left column is aligned right, and the second one is aligned left. For some reason or another, I can't post a screen shot. How do I get the space between those two columns aligned with the center of the page?

 

 

 

Here's the code for the first row:

 echo "<table border = 0 width = 100%";
 echo "<tr>";
 echo "<td style='text-align:right; padding:3px 3px 0px 3px; Border:2px; font:15px Arial, sans-serif'>System:</td>"; //top right bottom left
 echo "<td style='text-align:left; padding:3px 3px 0px 3px; font:15px Arial, sans-serif'>" . $System . "</td>";
 echo "</tr>";

You can set each td to have a width of 50%.

 

However if this is not tabular data, you should be using divs and CSS to format it.

And fix your HTML. You never even closed the table tag, and you need to quote your attributes.

Barand, that didn't work, or I have misunderstood you.

 

Here's a link to my site:http://bryanrails.zapto.org/rails

 

use 41146 as the tech number and the password is "test" When you get to the Enter Display Channel, pull the drop-down menu to Bryan, TX and enter 69 in the top box.

 

thanks for the help

As I told you, your table tag is not closed, and you need to quote the attributes.

 

You also did NOT add any 50%.

 

Make the first two <td>s into <th> and put style="width: 50%" on them.
