i've tried various things (and searched these forums among others), and i just don't know enough about html, or something is screwy. i just don't know what i'm doing wrong. here's my code for the menu.tpl. the titletest.jpg is what i'm trying to center:
<TABLE border=1 cellPadding=5 cellSpacing=0 width="100%" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">
<TR>
{if $link_href}
<div style="text-align:center">
<TD align="center" class=VertMenuTitle background="{$ImagesDir}/titletest.jpg" style="background-repeat: no-repeat" height=26 align=center valign=center width=100% font class=VertMenuTitle>
<font color="#000000"></font>
<font color="#000000">{$menu_title}</font></font></TD>
{else}
<TD align="center" class=VertMenuTitle background="{$ImagesDir}/titletest.jpg" style="background-repeat: no-repeat" height=26 align=center valign=center width=100%
<font class=VertMenuBoxNewsTitle color="#000000"> {$menu_title}</font></TD>
{/if}
</TR>
<TR>
<TD colspan="2" class=VertMenuBox>{$menu_content}
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
