In Visual Studio, I'm seeing these warnings:
- Validation (HTML 5): Attribute 'cellpadding' is not a valid attribute of element 'table'.
- Validation (HTML 5): Attribute 'cellspacing' is not a valid attribute of element 'table'.
- Validation (HTML 5): Attribute 'valign' is not a valid attribute of element 'td'.
- Validation (HTML 5): Attribute 'align' is not a valid attribute of element 'td'.
If they are not valid attributes in HTML5, what replaces them in CSS?
/* cellpadding */
th, td { padding: 5px; }
/* cellspacing */
table { border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 5px; } /* cellspacing="5" */
table { border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0; } /* cellspacing="0" */
/* valign */
th, td { vertical-align: top; }
/* align (center) */
table { margin: 0 auto; }
This should solve your problem:
td {
/* <http://www.w3.org/wiki/CSS/Properties/text-align>
* left, right, center, justify, inherit
*/
text-align: center;
/* <http://www.w3.org/wiki/CSS/Properties/vertical-align>
* baseline, sub, super, top, text-top, middle,
* bottom, text-bottom, length, or a value in percentage
*/
vertical-align: top;
}
Alternatively, can use for particular table
<table style="width:1000px; height:100px;">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top">Text</td> //Remove it
<td class="tableFormatter">Text></td>
</tr>
</table>
Add this css in external file
.tableFormatter
{
width:100%;
vertical-align:top;
text-align:center;
}
I think you are using Visual Studio to edit web page. Then I also faced the same issue. The thing is, there is no such 'attribute' for this element.
You have you move this attribute to style:
From:
<td valign="top">XXXX</td>
To:
<td style="vertical-align:top;">XXXX</td>
