Re: Centering a Table

I have a simple (?) page that has only a table as its content (I
suppose I could do it some other way, but I'm unsure of how...). I want
the table to be centered on the page. It works with I.E., but fails
with other browsers (FF, SeaMonkey, etc.): it aligns on the left part of
the page.
Apart from of the annoying differences with I.E. and other browsers,
what can I do to assure the table's data is centered on the rendered
page? TIA

Tables are block elements, you center blocks of smaller width within
other blocks by setting the left and right margins to "auto". You do not
use "text-align: center" that is for alignment of inline text....

table { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }

Take care,

I tried that, but it doesn't change any of the rendering behavior:
I.E. works, but other browsers don't.
I also removed the "text-align: center", but that made I.E. fail,
too.
It seems I didn't understand your message: could you show what code
is to be changed and where to implement the changes? TIA
