center tables with CSS

Bastian

Hi,

I have a problem with CSS. I read in other postings that it should be
possible to center tables by

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

in an external stylesheet.
But it doesn't work with IE 6.0 as it seems.
I have to center my tables with

<table align="center">.

Can anybody help me. Thanks.

Bye

Bastian

Doesn't sound correct.
Have you set a width on the table? Have you used a doctype?
It should work in IE6.

Are you triggering quirks or standards mode? If standards mode then
this will work in IE6. If quirks mode then it won't.
