Firefox, Div tags, Tables and Centering problems

9,735 Expert Mod 8TB

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

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<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:
