119411 - element centering working incorrectly in standards mode, tables do not center

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 49274

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Dwight Brown]

When placing a table on a page (i'm using strict.dtd) you cannot center the
table in the body of the page without using deprecated methods.

Wrapping the table in <div style="text-align: center;"></div> does NOT center
the table, nor does using css: body { text-align: center; }

However, using the deprecated <center> tag or the <table align="center"> DOES
work, all though it shouldn't when using the strict.dtd.

Mainly a dupe of bug 49274, use {margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto} to 
center a table horizontally.

See also the comments on bug 69479 as to the height of the table.
