Hi Maya,
Add: .meetings caption {margin: 0 auto; } and ... testpage
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-caption.htm> :-)
In FF1.07 it's alright now, like IE6 and Opera8.01 before.
But why? The css2.1 spec's say:
"The caption boxes ... are block-level boxes that retain their own
content, padding, margin, and border areas, and are rendered as normal
blocks *inside* the anonymous box."
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#q5
So I guess it is a Firefox bug, though my simple mind didn't find it in
a Bugzilla search for "table caption":
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&content=table+caption
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&content=table+caption>
(maybe this link will be broken)
Greetings,
francky
