Re: one more time... table problems..AGAIN :(

Hi Lonna
I looked at it aol 4.0 on a imac. There is a problem but in addition most of
the stuff is lined up on the left margin. My aol browser opens up to 640
if I make it wider things will look ok except the area that you are having
a problem with. In looking at this table I noticed that the center tag
is in the TD element and not out side the table. So I think that the table
is aligned to the left. You may try making a chart to diagram what does
what to see what is lined up and centered. 
The problem did not show up on NN 4.08.

Hope this may help you.

Dick
