Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 297676

Description

[Leon Stringer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060306 Fedora/1.5.0.1-7 Firefox/1.5.0.1

When you center a table with CSS margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto, the caption element isn't centred and stays in the default location (i.e. left justified).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a page with <table style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto".
2. Include a <caption> element in the table.

Actual Results:  
The caption text stays left justified

Expected Results:  
The caption would be centered.

There is a workaround:

<caption style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto">

but I think as the caption is part of the table this should be uneccessary, it should inherit the table's properties.

Confirmed. This is contrary to the W3C's recommended rendering: http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/appendix/notes.html#layout
