Hi folks,
I've got a table on a page that I'm trying to centre as follows:
<.div align="center" id="main">
<.table>
... usual table stuff here ...
<./table>
<./div>
but it won't do it, the table remains centred to the left. I'm guessing
that something in my stylesheet is causing problems so I've enclosed
the appropriate class here:
#main {background-color: #ffffff;
border: 10px solid white;
width: 650px;
align: center;}
Also, I don't want to put in an explicit width here, but if I don't then the
table will stretch to the full width of the page. Is there any way around
this (to have the table/div be only the width of the largest element).
TIA,
Raj.
