How do I center my table in my panel?
Hello, I'm new to working in the designer in VS 2010 so I'd written all of my code in the source window but am now re-doing the code using the designer. I have a few panels on my page that I hide and or show based on certain settings etc., so I'd like to keep the panels. How do I center my table within the panel?
<asp:Panel ID="pnlManager" runat="server">
<div class="updateAlert">
<asp:Panel runat="server" ID="pnlUpdateConfirmation" Visible="false" CssClass="UpdatedMessage Alert SavedSmall">

</asp:Panel>
</div>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="3">

</table>

</asp:Panel>
create a parent table with 1 cell that's width is 100%, set the text-align to center.

@Kyle Abrahams: Do this within my panel? Or wrap the panel (and the main table within it) within this outer table?
<panel>
<table style="width:100%; text-align:center">
<tr>
<td>
<table /> <!-- your existing table here -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</panel>
<table style="width:100%; text-align:center">
<tr>
<td>
<table /> <!-- your existing table here -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</panel>

So what's odd, is that this works in IE8, but not in fire fox, any suggestions?
what version of firefox? This it's working in version 31.

Ok. Well miraculously, it is now working, go figure. Last question, in the designer, for some reason, if i put the Panel control in as we have discussed, it is hiding all of the controls of the table, that are wrapped in the panel. Any idea why that would happen?
Is it set to visible = false or display = none by default?
