Hello all, First of all, many thanks for your comprehensive replies. I should note that I am no expert with either html coding nor css but I am picking it up. It would obviously pay dividends for me to learn css. In the interim David can I clarify something giving my very basic understanding? I have my html page created in SeaMonkey Composer - are you saying that I just insert: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";> as the first line.... then: <div> <div style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"> <TABLE....> </TABLE> </div> (I want the page to center in every browser so will the above do this?) Given my lack of knowledge I see CSS and Standard HTML use as 2 seperate things..... therefore am I mixing the 2 here? In short - will inserting your suggested code into my existing HTML documents be okay? Last of all..... will I need to repeat this code for each table tag in the document or does the document assume the command applies for all instances of tables on the page? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
