Table Alignment in Mozilla

[Chester Harold]

Hello! I can't figure out if this is a standards thing or if I am missing
some Moz-knowledge, but I have my table set with align="center" and IE will
display the table centered, but Mozilla won't. If you need to see the page,
it is here:

Thanks for any input on how to center the table,
Chet

P. S. I know I could wrap all the tables in a <div>, and that should work,
but is it really necessary?

add this to your maincell style

text-align: center

Then insert another 100% width table above the others; paste'We are
located...........and Killington' into it.

Something like this should cover IE's and Mozilla's requirements:

<table align="center" style="margin: 0 auto;">
...
</table>

Thanks! Now for the forbidden question - why does this work, when
align="center" doesn't? Is it a deficiency with Mozilla until a future
release?

Thanks for the feedback. I did this, but it did not work, just so you know.

No youre right after testing, it only works in IE.

Humm I thought inline styling align: center of a td cell or table was
depreciated, although it does work. How pants is that.

Align center does work, just not the way you are applying it. You should
be choosing align center from the 'Horz' drop menu not clicking the text
align center menu.

Im still not sure whether that method is depreciated or not though,
thought it was. Trying to control as much as possible via css.
