Bud, this is actually a case of Microsoft fixing a bug. Content in td's should inherit alignment from outer elements. At least that's what the W3C says...
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#h-11.3.2.1 Apparently you should be able to set the alignment on the first cell in the span and it will fix all of them. That is, if IE6 has implemented that part of the standard. :) jon Bud wrote: > Has anyone else noticed that in IE 6 table cells no longer default to > align=left?
