You're using *absolute* positioning!  What'd you expect?

Centering is a *relative* relationship.  There are countless ways to achieve your
objective, and you picked one of the very few that overtly eliminates nearly all

Well, sorry if that sounded harsh.  But the bottom line is, if you want to center

go there.  Actually the latter is far harder.  The old school way of centering a
graphic, just as you seem to want, right in the middle of the page is somethign like
this:


But tables just are not "cool" anymore, I am afraid.  (Not that I'd ever let that stop
me! <g>)

I do not see a horizontal line, except under "enter", on that page?  Ahhh, if I click

You've set an absolute width, and it is being honored.

That's how I did it, yeah. <g>  Not sure that is the best way, though.  Most powerful
