"The alignment of cell contents can be specified on a cell by cell basis, or inherited from enclosing elements, such as the row, column or the table itself."
To me, enclosing elements are enclosing elements. Not just table, tr, or td tags, and that's apparently the way the IE developers read it when they implemented their standards compliant mode. Unfortuneately the document contains a few inconsistencies as it also says that the default alignment behavior is up to the user agent. Switching the doctypes should fix it either way... jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bud" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 9:09 AM Subject: Re: OT - Freaking IE 6 > On 2/18/02, Jon Hall penned: > >Bud, this is actually a case of Microsoft fixing a bug.
