Hi there!
I don't know why I seem to be the only one with this problem...In Firefox when I'm displaying a table within a <div> and use the align="center" it does not center the table. I'm wondering if there is a way around this...
Eg -
<div id="mainContent">
-
<table align="center">
-
...
-
</table>
-
</div>
-
Thanks for your help!

align="center" is deprecated. Don't use it.
He wants to center the table, not the text. With typos fixed: -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
-
<html>
-
<head>
-
<title></title>
-
<style type="text/css">
-
-
table
-
{
-
margin:0 auto;
-
}
-
-
</style>
-
</head>
-
<body>
-
<div class="clsTest">
-
<table style="border: 2px solid black">
-
<tr>
-
<td>Some Crap</td>
-
</tr>
-
</table>
-
</div>
-
</body>
