How Do I Center These <tr> Tags So That They Look Straight?

To see my problem, down below is the code I used, html and css... *Note: To see my alignment problem with my table, you must have a large enough screen to view it with. That is to say, you must use a laptop or computer and paste the code into a text editor such as notepad, notepad++, sublime, etc. * *Note: I did in fact cut out a lot of my HTML, I only included the portion in concern with my table. However, I did include ALL of my CSS. If posting the rest of the HTML helps then I'll add it as well. Thanks.*

Well, I copy paste all your code in the code playground to see/test it: https://code.sololearn.com/WKFEKnmJzda4/# ( feel free to save it, it would be copied in your code playground ;) ) But I don't clearly see your problem: do you want the border of the rows containing a unique cell ( those with colspan ) to be at a smaller width than the table? If it is, you need to put a container in your cell, which have the css display property set to inline or inline-block, and decorate this container in place of your cell ( <td> -- in reality <tr>s width are necessary widely than possible in the <table> width, or <table> width straighly to the <tr>'s table; and sum of <td> width follow same principe, in regards of it's parent <tr> ) and made cell container center text

Except that I have look at code playground viewer on the SoloLearn app for android, and the previsualisation is not made like on the web site: you will see at fullscreen size, all the more so I run it on a 10' UHD tablet ( so my virtual width resolution is about 1000px, your table is centered with a little comfortable margin at both side ;) )

+visph Sorry for the confusion, when I said insert it in a text editor like notepad, notepad++, or sublime... it was so you could open the code in a Web browser and see it in full screen. The reason being is because the table looks perfectly fine on the small screen sololearn provides, but when you open it in a web browser in full screen, using something like a laptop, you see the disalignment in the table. But again, typing the code on SoloLearn won't allow you to see the disalignment error I'm referring too. I do thank you for your answer still though.

I did indeed find a solution just now, what I found out was that I DID in fact align my table(s). Note that I said "tables". I finally saw that my somewhat "silly" error what that I simply made two different tables instead of letting all of my information be under one table. Down below is a picture representation... <table> <tbody> *Then all of my info. in the <tr> tags I can simply copy & paste inside here* </tbody> </table>
