How to align all columns by colgroup? It works with colspan?
Example
This HTML here was tested with Firefox and Chrome, but no browser renderize the center for all expected columns.
<table border="1" width="100%">
<colgroup>
<col style="text-align:center;background-color:red"/>
<col align="center" valign="bottom" style="background-color:blue"/>
<col align="center" valign="top" style="background-color:yellow"/>
</colgroup>
<tr>
<th>ISBN</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Price</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3476896</td>
<td>My first HTML</td>
<td align="center">$53</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><big>5869207</big></td>
<td>My first CSS</td>
<td><small>$49</small></td>
</tr>
</table>
Use this example (copy/paste to) at w3schools.com/tags.
PS: What is wrong with align
and valign
attributes? Style (by text-align) also not responding.
EDIT
As I said above, I need a solution "by colgroup". It can be also "by colgroup
or col
tags with style
attribute".
My template system need to use colgroup
(!), not is valid a solution without colgroup
.
My system not need to compatiple with HTML5, it uses something like "XHTML module" (see ex. DTD).

- Is html <COL align> deprecated? : not the same, because my problem is about XHTML, not about HTML5 (that is not XML and is a "plan for future standard").
