Okay, I hate days like this. Maybe this will save somebody else a little grief if they run across it also.

I just spent about 6 hours trying to figure out why my tabs weren't getting left aligned (two-level tabs, theme 2). I was using Firefox so I could use Firebug to see what the DOM and css and everything else was doing. I was adding align="left" statements all over my page template, in practically every table and TD statement there was, and my tabs still kept being right aligned.

I re-booted my PC in case the memory got dorked up, still the same problem. I tried with and without the DOCTYPE directive, no difference.

Finally I fired up IE7 and loaded the page, and the tabs really are left aligned, but for some starnge reason, Firefox seems to ignore that and right aligns them.

I don't know if it's a browser setting somewhere or not, but the moral of the story is, when trying to tarck down strange display problems when all o f the code looks like it is correct, try a different browser. It could be your browser just has a problem understanding the codes.
