JSF: Centering A Table (panelGrid)

There doesn't seem to be any way change the alignment of a Table using the h

anelGrid component. I would like to center a table on the screen at 50% width. Using a regular table:

Anyone know how to go about this?

Well, here is what I had to do. I created a gridPanel with a width of 100% of my screen and 1 column. Then I added another gridPanel inside that one so it would be a new table in the TD. On the first gridPanel I had to apply a rowClasses property with a style that aligns it's TD in the center.

Long story short:

And the center-td style simply has text-align: center;.

CRAP!! text-align: center; is IE only. Or it just doesn't work in Firefox. Anyone know a w3c standard way to do this?

Work around as of right now is to:

Still would have been better to have an align property in the component though.

Gregg,

So, the align attribute has been deprecated in HTML 4.01, so it wasn't included in JSF. The suggestion is to use CSS, which is tricky, but possible. See this document.

Well, that kind of stinks. Even the standard isn't standard. :roll:
