Hi,

Im new to data table, im using DataTables 1.10.5 and i try to put center my pagination since it looks kinda messy on my table. Here is my code :

Html:

 <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" class="display example" id="example2" width="90%"> <thead align="center"> <th>a</th> <th>b </th> <th>c</th> <th>d</th> <th>e</th> <th>f</th> <th>g</th> <th>h</th> </thead> <tfoot></tfoot> <tbody align="center"> <?php
        $this->load->model('customer');

        foreach ($queryByDate->result() as $row){
          $a = $row->a;
          $b = $row->b;
          $c = $row->c;
          $d = $row->d;
          $e = $row->e;
          $f = $row->f;
          $g = $row->g;
          $h = $row->h;
        ?> <tr> <td><?php echo $a; ?></td> <td><?php echo $b;?></td> <td><?php echo $c;?></td> <td><?php echo $d;?></td> <td><?php echo strtoupper($e);?></td> <td><?php echo $f;?></td> <td><?php echo $g;?></td> <td><?php echo $h;?></td> </tr> <?php $i++;} }else { echo "no record found";}?> </tbody> </table>

https://datatables.net/forums/ seems to be specific to this product.

https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/35702 seems to note centering the table on the page.
Notice how they want their examples.
