putting a table at the bottom pf a page

[phoenixfire67]

I had read an earlier solution to the problem of placing a table at the bottom of a web page, and, it was very help ful. My only problem was that I could not get the table to center. Is there a solution to this? The original solution was in the following thread:

by birdbrain. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanx,

Hi there phoenixfire67,

To center the table...

<style type="text/css">
<!--
div#bottom
{
width:300px;
position:absolute;
bottom:0%;
left:50%;
margin-left:-150px;
}
table
{
width:300px;
border: solid 1px #000000;
}
//-->
</style>

The margin-left is set to minus half
the table width. The body code is...

<div id="bottom">
<table ><tr>
<td>this table is centered 0% up from the bottom</td>
</tr></table>
</div>

birdbrain,
OOps!:o I forgot to mention that I have multiple tables on this page. How do I only attribute to one specific table?

Hi there phoenixfire67,

Just give the table an id in the css...

<style type="text/css">
<!--
div#bottom
{
width:300px;
position:absolute;
bottom:0%;
left:50%;
margin-left:-150px;
}
table#one
{
width:300px;
border: solid 1px #000000;
}
//-->
</style>

and the table...

<div id="bottom">
<table id="one"><tr>
<td>this table is centered 0% up from the bottom</td>
</tr></table>
</div>

you could also just use the center tags before and after the table tags and not use the css at all.

Hi there Robert Adams,

You say...

just use the center tags before and after the table tags
and not use the css at all

but...

the w3.org [w3.org] states that
the center tag has been deprecated

[robert adams]

the tag may be "deprecated" but it still works.

luck,
robert-I've been deprecated but I am still here:)

birdbrain & robert,
thank you both for the assist. birdbrain was right, the CENTER tag was deprecated.
