NOt centering in FF - but does in IE...

[youradds]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone could help me =)

For some reason, this table center's fine in IE, but not FF :/

<div id="front_cat_table">
<h3>Find People...</h3>
<p>To start your search, please select a category from below, or use our search facility found above.</p>
<table class="front_cat_table">
	<tr>
		<td>
		<p align="center"><img src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://members.graphicsfactory.com/clip-art/image_files/image/7/793107-desk_1091.gif"[/URL] alt=" desk_1091 " border="0"></td>
		<td>
		<p align="center"><img src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://members.graphicsfactory.com/clip-art/image_files/tn_image/5/793855-tn_chat_923.gif"[/URL] alt="chat_923" title="chat_923" border="0" height="32" width="32"></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>
		<p align="center">Businesses</td>
		<td>
		<p align="center">People</td>
	</tr>
</table>
</div>

.front_cat_table {
  padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
  margin-top: 5px;
  border-collapse: collapse;
  width: 75%;
  font-size: 11px;
  align: center;
}

.front_cat_table td {
  width: 50%;
}

#front_cat_table {
  align: center;
}

I've tried everything I can think of - including wrapping another <div id="front_cat_table"> around the content, to make that a center'ed <div> - but even that doesn't work :/

TIA for **any** ideas!

Andy

1. To centre a block level element (such as a div) in a modern browser, you should use css property margin. The way to do it is to specify the width of the element and then add automatic margins for left and right side ([tt]margin: 0 auto;[/tt]).

2. There is no align property in CSS. The closes one is text-align, but it is only used for inline objects.

3. If your example works in IE, then it is because of one of two things:
a) You do not have a doctype specified. That will cause you a lot of headaches when trying to make your page look and act the same across browsers.
b) You're using a very old version of IE. In that case I suggest you get a new version.

Centering in Firefox and Centering (One more time) should help some as well.
