Mozilla/NS - Table align=center not working

message from jip on 21 Jul 2004
I am in the prelim stages of a new site design
http://www.imacs.com/claimshoppe/.

When I preview my pages in Mozilla/NS the tables that have an align =
center, are not being rendered as such, instead they are rendering as
align=left/default. This is not the case in IE.

The table is nested within a table cell for which the "host" <td> tag has no
styles applied, only the nested table tag has an "align=center".

Below are the styles used for all tables and cells and then of course the
exceptions are designed by creating a new style.

/******** snippet of style sheet **************/
table {margin: 0px; border: 0px; background-color: #FFFFFF;}
table td{vertical-align:top;}

td, th {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 18px;
color: #000000;
text-align:left;
}
Anybody see something obvious on why the Mozilla/NS browsers render the table
to align=default/left?

If you assign a width to the table, and then give it -

margin: 0 auto;

it will have 0 top and bottom, and be center aligned.

I just commented out the "margin: 0px;" and that fixed the problem.
