Tables are block elements, you center blocks of smaller width within
other blocks by setting the left and right margins to "auto". You do not
use "text-align: center" that is for alignment of inline text....

table { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }

Take care,

I tried that, but it doesn't change any of the rendering behavior:
I.E. works, but other browsers don't.
I also removed the "text-align: center", but that made I.E. fail,
too.
It seems I didn't understand your message: could you show what code
is to be changed and where to implement the changes? TIA
