Align <a> centered and <img> on the left, both vertically centered inside a <td>

I would like to display an image left aligned (with some padding at the left/right) but vertically centered in the table cell, while keeping the text centered both horizontally and vertically.

JSFiddle complete example:

https://jsfiddle.net/6bsgkytq/

<tr>
  <td>
    <img title="Out of stock" src="..."><!-- This image may or may not exist -->
    <a href="">4000.4</a>
  </td>
  <td>Lemon soda</td>
  <td>10/10/2021</td>
  <td>London, United Kingdom</td>
  <td>Waiting</td>
</tr>

img {
  vertical-align: middle;
}

Using this code, the result is like this:

Current result

I would like instead:

  1. To have the text centered on the cell (both horizontally and vertically), regardless of the presence/absence of the image; I could put the image as the td background but I don't want, because I would like the title attribute to be displayed as a tooltip with further info
  2. To have the image vertically centered but left aligned
  3. Have a padding on the left of the image and possible on the right (by increasing the column width - now fixed at 90px - if it is too small to handle image and text)

Like so:

Desired result

I would prefer to avoid javascript and stick with HTML/CSS only.

You can use a situation like below: Use position: absolute; for the image (and position: relative for that cell) and vertically center it with top: 50%; and transform: translateY(-50%);. Then the text can be centered with the usual methods. The only thing you'll need is a set width for that cell, but it seems your contents in that cell and the images are so that this can be reliably "pre-calculated"

EDIT / addition: To allow longer text without overlapping the image, you can use a correspondig side padding in that cell – the cell will grow accordingly beyond its defined width if necessary.

table {
  width: 100%;
  border-collapse: collapse;
}

td {
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
  height: 40px;
  padding: 10px;
}

td:first-child {
  width: 40px;
  text-align: center;
  vertical-align: center;
  position: relative;
  padding: 10px 40px;
}

td:first-child img {
  position: absolute;
  left: 10px;
  display: block;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
}
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <img title="Out of stock" src="...">
      <!-- This image may or may not exist -->
      <a href="">4000.4</a>
    </td>
    <td>Lemon soda</td>
    <td>10/10/2021</td>
    <td>London, United Kingdom</td>
    <td>Waiting</td>
  </tr>
   <tr>
    <td>
      <img title="Out of stock" src="...">
      <!-- This image may or may not exist -->
      <a href="">4000000000000.5</a>
    </td>
    <td>Lemon soda</td>
    <td>10/10/2021</td>
    <td>London, United Kingdom</td>
    <td>Waiting</td>
  </tr>
</table>

I don't know if it meets all the requirements, but this is a possible solution.

Main points:

table td {
    position:relative;
}

table td a {
    margin: 0px 20px;
}

/* Image vertically aligned */
table tbody img {
  position:absolute;
    left: 5px;
    top: 50%;
    margin-top:-5px; /* half image... */
}

Complete code

table {
  font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  font-size: small;
  text-align: left;
  vertical-align: middle;
  border-collapse: collapse;
  border: 0;
  margin: 0;
  width: 98%;
  animation-name: animWidth;
  animation-duration: 10s;
}

@keyframes animWidth {
  0% {width: 98%}
  50% {width: 40%}
  100% {width: 98%}
}

table th,
table td {
    
  /* Default text alignment */
  text-align: center;
  vertical-align: middle;

  /* Separate border */
  border: 2px solid white;
  border-top: 0;
  border-bottom: 0;
  padding: 2px;
}

/* Header */
table th {
  background: #0093DD;
  color: white;
}

/* Footer */
table tfoot::before {
  content: '';
  display: block;
  height: 8px;
}

table tfoot td:first-child {
  text-align: left;
  padding-left: 16px;
}

table tfoot td:last-child {
  text-align: right;
  padding-right: 16px;
}

/* Alternate line colors */
table tbody tr:nth-child(even) td {
  background: #EFEFEF;
}


/* Description column left aligned */
table tbody td:nth-child(2) {
  text-align: left;
}

/* Columns width */
table tbody td:nth-child(1),
table tbody td:nth-child(5) {
  width: 90px;
}

table tbody td:nth-child(2) {
  width: auto;
}

table tbody td:nth-child(3) {
  width: 90px;
}

table tbody td:nth-child(4) {
  width: 160px;
}

table td {
    position:relative;
}

table td a {
    margin: 0px 20px;
}

/* Image vertically aligned */
table tbody img {
  position:absolute;
    left: 5px;
    top: 50%;
    margin-top:-5px; /* half image... */
}
