Text-align also applies to table-cell's content, though this does not work cross-browser: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#column-alignment The nature of the spec seems (in my mind anyway) to have been to replace align attribute on TD with text-align. It's a problem because what do you do with margin: auto blocks when the TD has text-align: center? http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Dec/0018.html > >> *Proposal: * > >> It would actually be better to create a new property ... > > > > I've written this up for the wiki here: > > http://csswg.inkedblade.net/ideas/centering Why can't you use a | length | ? > > > -- > Anne van Kesteren > <http://annevankesteren.nl/> > <http://www.opera.com/> > > -- Monkey, so they say, is the root of all people today.
