Re: How best to centre each cell’s content within a column

Nice idea – I’d completely forgotten about colgroup and col, regarding them as old fashioned and not helpful. Turns out I was partially right: you can use the technique you suggest to do a few things (e.g. background colour) but, irritatingly, text-align is not one of them. So, nice idea but a “near miss” it seems.
