Hi Adrian,
Possibly you've figured this out or gotten the answer by now, but I
haven't seen it posted, so I'll tell you what I noticed:
If you remove the td width from each cell with text, then the text
will be centered in both IE and Netscape.
With the td width specified, IE seems to left-align the cell within
the table (which is wider) and to then center the text within that
left-aligned cell. Netscape on the other hand seems to center the
narrower table cell, so in Netscape the text is centered even with the
width specified.

Nothing
