Chris,
I feel stupid! I completely forgot IE doesn't recognize "margin: auto,"
and I've inserted "text-align: center" in the CSS body rule in another
design.
Please forgive my temporary memory freeze :)
Again, I've just gotten started on the conversion, and do plan on removing
all table tags.
Thanks very much for the quick response, and my apologies for the post,
but sometimes it's the simple rules you forget.
Warm regards,
Mario
