On this login page to our company intranet, the cell of the outer table
specifies align="center", but the inner table does not appear in the center of
the cell, but on the left.
Attached file XHTML testcase
Attached file HTML testcase
Whiteboard: [TESTCASE]
The XHTML testcase shows the bug; after removing the DOCTYPE it works fine, see
HTML testcase. (Using build 2000022916 on NT4.0 sp5)
This bug may be related to bug 1802: "[4.xP]<tr align=left/right/center> not
working", ASSIGNED. In that bug report <td> cells are not inheriting alignment
from parent <tr> elements; in this case it is an inner table that is not
inheriting alignment from a parent <td> cell. Of course this could be just
a red herring.

Added another xhtml testcase, with a paragraph added inside the outer table.
The paragraph is centered properly, but the inner table isn't.

Tested with: 1999-12-08-08-M12 nightly binary on Windows NT 4.0sp3

It's a dup of bug 1044, not bug 1802. The inner table doesn't inherit the style
from it's surrounding element which happens to be a cell of the outer table. The
problem would have been the same if the outer element had been something else, A
DIV for instance as described in bug 1044.
