How to add the align attribute to this line of code (inline) - HTML, JavaScript, and jQuery

Question

I am looking to insert the align attribute for centering column data. I have several lines that are similar in composition to this:

tdHtml = tdHtml + "<td style=\\"width:42px;\\">" + PriorityFormat($(this).attr("ows_Priority_x0020_Number")); + "</td>";

Is this doable?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Don't use inline css add class or target td by parent selector

Example:

tdHtml = tdHtml + "<td class='td-center'>" + PriorityFormat($(this).attr("ows_Priority_x0020_Number")); + "</td>";

CSS

.td-center {width:42px; text-align:center}
