Re: Centring Tables in HTML 4.01 Strict...?

Perfect.  Works like a charm!  I also retained the original body declaration, 
without which the non-compliant browsers won't center-align the table. 
Is this okay as a work-around?

body { text-align:center; } 
table { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }

Thanks so much!
