> Your test page is using HTML5, so it's hardly a decade old -- and a quick run through the W3C Validator will tell you, and I quote, I copied it from original source to document issue better. DOCTYPE is irrelevant here. Okay, great. It's a Webkit issue. That is good to know. Thanks! > So why you think browsers should "render it correctly" escapes me, as do the circumstances that could dictate that "you MUST use it". :-) Just merely saying that regardless of the tag used here (and I'm not condoning the use of the tag at all), that all browsers should align it identically. Nothing more. Thanks again for your input!

Use CSS instead.

[WSG] Safari: Inline-Block / Center Element Issue
Hi Guys, A collogue of mine came across a weird issue today on Safari regarding the alignment on inline-block level elements such as input and select within a ...wait for it... element. We came up with a work-around (the most obvious being NOT to use the element whenever humanly possible), but I just wanted to know if anyone had anything additional to add here. More details here: http://www.spellacy.net/center-inline-block.html Thanks, Michael "Spell" Spellacy *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
