Re: Netscape vs. IE

As bizzare as this sounds.  Uncomment the attribute. Though this works, I do
not think it is valid in HTML 4.0 and above.   Anybody out there know?????

>From the HTML Pocket Reference by O'Reilly:
"Default alignment is left. The center value is not universally supported,
so it is more reliable to center a table on a page by using tags outside a
table (such as <center> and <div> )"

But hey you already figured that out ;->
