Don't use that type of centering then :-)

You can override the styling of cells and rows via CSS. The default style sheet that ships with Web Connection SHOULD set cells to be left justified by default unless explicitly set.

You can try using

<center> <table>...</table> </center>

instead and see if that produces better results for IE 6.

Every object in cells of a table centered in the page

<table style="align:center">

is aligned centered, both in IE6 and IE6, while alignment is perfect (left) in Chrome and Firefox.

What doesn't line up properly? HTML design and cross-browser layout is left up to you - Web Connection provides a base line that should work OK on browsers down to IE 6 but might not. You might have to adjust a few things slightly for IE 6.

My philosophy towards IE 6 is: You can upgrade to IE 7 or any of the other browsers so nobody's locked into IE 6 (except pre-XP systems). IE 6 might display a few things off a little (because it doesn't implement many CSS tags properly) and that's a price any user ends up paying for still using IE6. Point out alternatives like Chrome or FireFox that are available for XP and provide up to date CSS 2.3+ and HTML 5 compliant browsers that are up to date.

Dear Rick,
I see web pages rightly in Chrome e Firefox browsers, while I see bad objects alignments in IE6, the default XP SP2 browser.
I have to worry, or can I consider IE obsolete?
Thank you very much
