[thelist] table cells suddenly centering...

[Jeana Clark]

Rudy -

Long story short.

If you don't declare the alignment for individual cells, it will take the
inherited cell of whatever table container its in. My guess is, you've got
an align="center" on a table or table cell that your other tables are inside
of.  A quick find and replace, or just adding align attributes to *all* of
your table cells quickly cleans up the problem.

I think its kinda a good idea.. going to the strict sense of HTML (xhtml).

YAY ITS FRIDAY.
