sorry - i've been double posting apparently. there are some groups that
aren't quite as busy as these seem to be so you can wait for days for a
reply.
anyway, my question should have been has anyone heard of any changes or bug
reports that would cause IE7 to treat an old tag any differently. i am
capable of fixing the bug that i see and already have fixed it on one page,
but i would like to have an explaination of why i am wasting time on such a
goofy fix. i have a hundred or so pages with this same new bug.
so if you experts haven't heard about any weirdness i'll move on.
thanks much.

Your best bet is to crosspost, not multipost.

align="center" is deprecated in favor of CSS

It really all depends on WHERE you want to use this center alignment.
Is it for a heading, a table header, something else? This is why a URL
would really be helpful.

Please don't post markup. Post a URL. If you don't have a URL, then
you can post something on a free server somewhere. Your ISP might have
free space for you, or you can post something over at
http://000webhost.com for free.

i tried using a style too, but that didn't work either. i saw that align
had been depreciated via google search.

the align="center" is in almost every cell of a 11 column 12 row table.
there are other smaller tables on the page that center just fine. they also
have fixed widths.

if i use percentage widths i don't have this problem on this table. but i
have many pages to fix so i need to explain why i am fixing them.

i can't post the URL because it could open other cans of worms. i work for
the government.

thanks for your help.

In your stylesheet:

table {text-align:center}

should center the cell contents.

A simple search and replace will get rid of all the align attributes.

instead of fixed works tho.

There must be something else affecting it, then. Upload a test page
somewhere or just forget it.

i would like to know what's really going on - if possible.

Try to make a valid html doc. Have a doctype, a head section and
so on and test it for validation first at
