manual center alignment

well i figured to make an image be on the center of screen i can do this:

code:

<img name=ass src=http://backstabbers.no-ip.com/images/homersig.jpg width=400 style="position:absolute;top:300;left:10;">

<script type="text/javascript">
ass.style.left=(screen.availWidth/2)-200
</script>

but how can i do that to a table?

This should work:

code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Centered Tables</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<center>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="maintable">
<tr name="holder">
<td align=center valign=middle>
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>this</td>
<td>table</td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td>should</td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td>be</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td>centered</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>on</td>
<td>the</td>
<td>screen</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('maintable').setAttribute('height',document.body.clientHeight-30);
document.getElementById('maintable').setAttribute('width',document.body.clientWidth-20);
</script>
</html>

That javascript codes not NS compatible. It shouldn't be hard to find the netscape values though.
