[pmwiki-users] how to align all of table to the left

[J. Meijer]

Below my replay that didn't make it to the list. 

Turns out I wasn't *all* wrong: the issue appears only with FireFox 2. 

A table that appears left in Opera, using 

  ||align=left

appears centered in firefox, number 2 is the only one I tested. With:

  || style="margin-left:0px;"

both browsers exhibit the same ("correct") behaviour. 

I'll make a comment about this on pmwiki.org.  



The issue has to do with the interpretation of the border-collapse property? 


Thanks,
