How do I center my caption in media size?-CodePudding

im working on some HW. I put a media size that is centered in regular size, when I changed it max-width of 480 the caption is on the left.

but it is stuck to the left. How can I change the code so the caption is in the middle when in media size?

caption {
   font-family: "Rock Salt", cursive;
   padding: 20px;
   font-style: italic;
   caption-side: Top;
   color: #666;
   text-align: center;
   letter-spacing: 1px;
 }




@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
  caption {
    caption-side: Top;
    text-align: center;
    letter-spacing: 1px;
  }

<section id="right"> 
        <table> 
           <caption>Books everyone will enjoy!</caption> 
           <thead> 
              <th colspan="4">Recommended childrens books!</th> 
              <th colspan="2" style="display: none">Recommended childrens books!</th> 
              <tr> 
                 <th colspan="1">Front of the book</th> 
                 <th colspan="1">Title of the book</th> 
                 <th colspan="1">Authors</th> 
                 <th colspan="1">Book Summary</th> 
             </tr> 
           </thead>

CodePudding user response：

you need to center the block element:

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
   caption {
      caption-side: Top;
      text-align: center;
      letter-spacing: 1px;
      margin:0 auto;
}

CodePudding user response：

just add margin:0 auto to your table

caption {
   font-family: "Rock Salt", cursive;
   padding: 20px;
   font-style: italic;
   caption-side: Top;
   color: #666;
   text-align: center;
   letter-spacing: 1px;
 }

table{
margin:0 auto;}


@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
  caption {
    caption-side: Top;
    text-align: center;
    letter-spacing: 1px;
  }
  }

<section id="right"> 
        <table> 
           <caption>Books everyone will enjoy!</caption> 
           <thead> 
              <th colspan="4">Recommended childrens books!</th> 
              <th colspan="2" style="display: none">Recommended childrens books!</th> 
              <tr> 
                 <th colspan="1">Front of the book</th> 
                 <th colspan="1">Title of the book</th> 
                 <th colspan="1">Authors</th> 
                 <th colspan="1">Book Summary</th> 
             </tr> 
           </thead>
         </table>
