Can somebody point out where I'm going wrong with the following code. Text inside td elements need to be centered except for Summary and
Experience. This only appears to work in Firefox/chrome. In IE8 all td text are displayed as left-justified. No matter what I try it doesn't center it. Any particular reason why this would happen? Thanks.
css
#viewAll
{
font-family:"Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
width:100%;
border-collapse:collapse;
margin-left:10px;
table-layout: fixed;

#viewAll td, #viewAll th
{
font-size:1.1em;
border:1px solid #98bf21;
word-wrap:break-word;
text-align:center;
overflow:hidden;
}
#viewAll tbody td{
padding:2px;
}
#viewAll th

font-size:1.1em;
padding-top:5px;
padding-bottom:4px;
