HTML Table - Text Not Centered in Headers

At least for IE7, TH widths should be declared as %'s, not px.

Fun with Dynamic SQL - Abusing the Data Layer

I needed to do some reporting on a process from within the db, essentially output a table of values to an email for alerting purposes ... enjoy!

Funky IE Appearance Upon Deployment - Intranet

Note for intranet sites the default is 7, not 8.

Unfortunately the default compatibility mode for intranet sites is set to "On" in IE.
