I have a problem with <caption> that I frankly do not
understand.
 
I have been trying to solve it for several hours, and
can't seem to solve it. 

The IE 6 is rendering my caption of a data table just
fine but Firefox will not center it to the table.

the partial css is

.meetings {width: 50%;
           border: 1px solid #143350;
           padding: 3px;
           margin-left: auto;
           margin-right: auto;
           margin-bottom: 1.5em;}
           
.meetings caption {padding: 4px 10px;
                   text-align: center;
                   font: bold .85em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}
                 
td {font-size: .85em;}
           
tr.odd {background: #BBD5FF;} 

--------------------------

and the html is as follows. This is the only table on
the page.

<table summary="This table shows the meetings for 2006
- 2007" class="meetings" >
          <caption> UPCOMING MEETINGS 2006 -
2007</caption>
          <tr class="odd"> 
            <td width="37%">September 25</td>
            <td width="63%">to be announced</td>
          </tr>
          <tr> 
            <td width="37%">October 30</td>
            <td width="63%">to be announced</td>
          </tr>
          <tr class="odd"> 
            <td width="37%">November 27</td>
            <td width="63%">to be announced</td>
          </tr>
          <tr> 
            <td width="37%">Janurary 29</td>
            <td width="63%">to be announced</td>
          </tr>
         <tr class="odd"> 
           <td width="37%">February 26</td>
           <td width="63%">to be announced</td>
         </tr>
          <tr> 
            <td width="37%">March 26</td>
            <td width="63%">to be announced</td>
          </tr>
          <tr class="odd"> 
            <td>April 30</td>
            <td>to be announced</td>
          </tr>
    </table>

I don't understand why in ie the caption centers
nicely
and the caption in firefox is half on and half of on
the left side of the table.
