 * Hello All,
 * I can get the table to align left and to align right, however when it comes to
   align center it only aligns left.
 * Does anyone know the cause of this? It happens in all editors such as tinymce
   and fckeditor.
 * Here is the page that I attempted to center the table:

 * esmi, I’m guessing you’ve answer the question here, but I’m not able to conjure
   the context I guess I need to benefit from it :/
    is this code example for css?
 * how would I place it in relation to the following table?
 *     ```
       <table border="0" width=>
         <tr>
           <td>&nbsp;</td>
           <td>&nbsp;</td>
         </tr>
       </table>
       ```
   
 * thanks for your patience! I duhno;)

 * esmi – sorry for taking so long to get back, your solution worked like a charm.
 * jeremyhelm – In case you haven’t figured it out yet which I’m sure you have, 
   I simply added the css to the bottom of my stylesheet and saved it. All tables
   now have the ability to center for that theme.
 * Thank you so much :)!

 * After a lot of trial and error and the lead from esmi above, I found that I could
   center a table with this as the beginning of the table code:
 * > <table style=”width: 480px; margin: 1px auto;” align=”center”>
 * (The key was the “margin: auto” setting. In my case I also wanted a 1px margin.)
 * Hope this helps others.
