the <table align="center"> doesn't work in explorer for some reason, but in mozilla... and it shows a horizontal scrollbar on the window when I use it.Which the css margin: 0 auto solved now I figured. Still doesn't work in explorerAnyway, I do use a separate CSS document for the page. I'd like to be able to center it from there without using the html align="center".So far it's the most simple construction of tables
<html><head><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="toys.css" /><title> Toys </title></head><body><table align="center"> <tr> <td class="left" /> <td class="right"> <img class="toyman" src="images/toyman.jpg"><br>Toyman creates another toy<br>just thinking about bringing joy<br>Some of them may be crappy<br>but most of them make you happy<br>Made with love and care<br>quality for wear and tear<br>Some for sun, some for rain<br>enough to make you come back again </td> </tr></table></body></html>
and this is the css
body{margin:0 auto}table{border-collapse: collapse;position: absolute;}td.left{width: 480px;height: 500px;background-image: url(images/snurra.jpg);}td.right{font-family: verdana;font-style: italic;vertical-align: top;text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;font-size: 90%;padding-bottom: 50px;}img.toyman{margin-top:;margin-bottom: 40px;margin-right: 10px;}
I'd like both a vertical and a horizontal align ontop of that =P
