Netscape Center tags???

[Crash1hd]

ok I have the following code and for what ever reason netscape does not do what I have marked in red

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="28%">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="42%">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="50%"><p align=right>Username:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p></td>
<td width="50%"><input type="text" name="username" value="<% = Server.HTMLEncode(username) %>" size="20" /><% If submitnumber > 1 AND username = "" Then Response.Write("<span style=""color:#cc0000""> * Required</span>") %></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="50%"><p align=right>Password:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p></td>
<td width="50%"><input type="password" name="pass" value="<% = Server.HTMLEncode(pass) %>" size="20" /><% If submitnumber > 1 AND pass = "" Then Response.Write("<span style=""color:#cc0000""> * Required</span>") %></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" colspan="2"><P Align=center><input type="checkbox" name="rememberme" value="1" /> Remember my username and password</p></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td width="34%">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="28%">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="42%"><P Align=Center><input type="hidden" name="submitnumber" value="<% = submitnumber %>" /><br /><input type="submit" value="Submit" /><br /><br /><a href="login/register.asp">New Members Register Here</a></p></td>
<td width="34%">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

For what ever reason if you run that in netscape it doesnt center the info that I want centerd for me to make it work I have to use the old <center></center> tags which I dont want to have to do??? I have also tried useing a class=center in a css file that looks like this

.center {text-align:center}

but that also doesnt work the odd part is the p align=right in the blue works fine but if I was to replace the p align=center to p align=right it still doesnt work there is something I am missing here but I dont know what>??

Try it as <p align="center"> instead of <P Align=center> if that fails, just stick align="center" into your td tag

[Crash1hd]

Ok I know that the <P Align="center"> doesnt work tried that havent tried without the P part will give that a try! but how would you close that! I think the bigger question is why doesnt it work?

[Nightfire]

I meant with align in lowercase, just like they are everywhere else where it's working right. The align="center" on it's own, I think you misunderstood me :) I mean in your td tag itself...

<td width="100%" align="center"> :)

Align on <p> doesn't work in netscape 4, and <center> is deprecated, so I'd second Nightfire's suggestion of the align attribute in the TD.

I'd be negligent if I didn't ask though ... why using tables for layout? why still concerned about netscape 4?

Netscape ignores some unquoted attribute values, so make sure the attriute value is in "quotes".

Make sure the code is in lower case. This is a requirement if you are writing XHTML pages (rather than HTML - you didn't say).

ok actualy I am useing asp pages and I am sure there is a much better way of doing it! the reason for worrying about netscape 4 is I just wanted the site to be compatable with all browsers!

Ok the align="center " in the td tag works but I still dont understand why the p align=right works but the p align=center doesn't

Using a layout that uses tables ISN'T compatible with all browsers. I have finally accepted the key to compatability isn't in how well a page looks on legacy browsers it's how well it degrades. Using a non-table based layout makes for a page that degrades wonderfully on older browsers. Also, if someone is still using a "legacy" browser, do you think they really care how a page looks?

First, "being compatible" and "rendering the same" are absolutely different things.
Second, tables make your site incompatible with quite a few browsers.
