I've read other posts on here about this issue and I've tried applying the code but I still can't get a centered table. Here is what I have:
In my CSS:
.centered-table {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
In my HTML:
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<div class="centered">
<table class="centered-table" id="Table_01" width="2001" height="1001" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
</table>
</div>
If I need to include more code in order to figure this out let me know.

Good point. My programming is a little rusty. However, my table still won't center. I've tried viewing it in Safari and Firefox...
When you put a -
<div style='text-align:center'>
-
......
-
..... your table
-
.....
-
</div>
-
around it, it'll work.

...no dice
To center the table, you should use css and
table{margin:0 auto;}
which is, essentially, what you have. However, the table is centered but this does not center the cell or the text inside. To do that you must enter this:
td{text-align:center}

Well the thing is that the table isn't centered, and I don't need to center the text.

I just did a test with the following code and it worked (IE, sorry no FF at work) if this isn't working you should post your code one thing to consider as DrHoward likes to point out is make sure your doctype is correct. - <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
-
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
-
<html>
-
<head>
-
<title>
-
Test
-
</title>
-
<style type="text/css">
-
table
-
{
-
margin-left: auto;
-
margin-right: auto;
-
border: 1px solid black;
-
height: 500px;
-
width: 500px
-
}
-
-
</style>
-
-
</head>
-
<body>
-
-
<table>
-
<tr>
-
<td>
-
Test
-
</td>
-
</tr>
-
</table>
-
</body>
ok here's all the code.
CSS= .centered {margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;}
The code you had DID center the table. Perhaps the enormous width you give it is fooling you.
I see. I see the error in my design, but I've put quite a bit of time into this page. Is there any way to set a point for the page to open to? Or any other way to make this work?

I think the problem is with the widths of your page, you're not going to be centering something that is 2000px wide when your monitor doesn't have the capability to do so.
