Table cells can be defined as align="center"
align="left"
align="right"
valign="top"
valign="center"
valign="bottom"The default for a TD is top left. The default for a TH is top center.

<td align="center" valign="top"><u>Links</u></td>You did not indicate which cell you wanted to adjust, so I assumed it was the only one with text in it. You will not see any benefit to the centering since the TD is sized to the content.

Good catch, Khaki!

According to W3C recommendations (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#alignment ), valign can be any of the following:top|middle|bottom|baselineand align can be:left|center|right|justify|char

Good catch, Khaki! well... as I've said on a number of occassions here in these forums...

With 2 older brothers... I can catch pretty well...
but I do throw like a girl :rolleyes: (I just can't help that. lol)

not center...
not middle...
not even all the way to the right..
but just to the left of that...
just a bit...
but not too much...
