Yes, that is the case in all browsers. I don't have an all encompassing doc, except for the html5 spec http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#alignment http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#attributes-for-embedded-content-and-images For Gecko it is coded in the UA stylesheet; WebKit has it hardcoded somewhere, I forgot where though http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/style/html.css Philippe --- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
