How to Vertically Center Table Cells in Bootstrap

When building responsive and beautifully aligned tables using Bootstrap, you might encounter an issue where your table cells aren't vertically centered. This often becomes apparent when there's some embedded form element, like a form-inline, present in one of your table columns. If you've faced this challenge, you're in the right place. In this guide, we’ll explore how to effectively resolve this problem and ensure your table cells are properly aligned.

The Problem: Misaligned Vertices

When you add a form-inline to a Bootstrap table, you may notice that the contents in other table columns become misaligned. This is likely due to the default styling of Bootstrap which affects vertical alignment. Below, we’ll break down the cause of this issue and how we can fix it.

Understanding Bootstrap's Default Styling

By default, Bootstrap applies styling to table elements that can interfere with your intended alignment:

In particular, the vertical-align: top; rule is what leads to the misalignment you're seeing. So, how do we fix this?

The Solution: Override Vertical Alignment

To achieve vertical centering of your table cells, we need to explicitly change the vertical alignment property of our table cells. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Adding a Custom CSS Class

You can create a custom class to override the default vertical alignment rule. For instance:

Step 2: Apply the Custom Class to Your Table Cells

Next, you'll want to apply this newly created class to your <td> and <th> elements where necessary. Here’s an example of how to apply it within your HTML:

Now, your table cells should be vertically centered, even when using inline forms.

Key Points to Remember

Always check the default CSS styling of Bootstrap which might conflict with your designs.

Override the vertical alignment using your custom CSS classes when necessary.

Always test your changes in multiple browsers to ensure compatibility.

Conclusion

By following the above steps, you can effectively resolve the alignment issues caused by embedding inline forms in your Bootstrap table. Proper vertical alignment not only enhances the aesthetics but also improves the overall user experience.

If you encounter similar issues in the future, remember that overriding the default Bootstrap styles is always an option. Happy coding!
