Html Problem Overview


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?

Html Solutions


Solution 1 - Html

/* 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; }

Solution 2 - Html

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;
}

Solution 3 - Html

On particular table

<table style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 10px;" >
    <tr>
      <td>Hi</td>
      <td>Hello</td>
    <tr/>
    <tr>
      <td>Hola</td>
      <td>Oi!</td>
    <tr/>
</table>

Solution 4 - Html

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;
}
