Whoever told you that is on glue, lol. align="center" is valid up to xhtml 1.0 transitional (I think -- at least html 4.01), and is recommended over or even dafter, ...

Well from another post a long while back we were discussing centering a table. I was told that align="center" won't work to center the table itself and that the only way to center a table is by surrounding the entire table with center tags.

The center tags in the middle don't need to be in there, but I they are properly both inside the outer center tags, so it should be fine. There are no unclosed tags so all of this should be no problem. Right?

i'm not sure i understand your problem, whether you want it centered or not, but if you DON'T want it centered, heres the reason why it is

<center><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="10">
<tr valign="top"><td>
<img src="/homes/pics/Fairmont.jpg" width="300" height="200" align="right" alt="Hampton Homes - The Fairmont" />
</td>
<td class="bold">
<center><img src="/homes/titles/Fairmont.gif" width="190"
height="35" alt="Fairmont" /></center>
&bull; 2-Story<br />
&bull; 2448 sq.ft.<br />
&bull; 4 BR / 2½ BA

</center>

'
you open up the "center" tag and then another one inside of it, and dont close the first until after the table. that will make EVERYTHING centered. by the way, you should't use "center" tags. they are only supported by IE, i believe. you should use the "div" tag with the "align=center" attribute. plus, if you are looking to get up-to-date, you should use style sheets to position things, as it is/should be done in the latest standards of the web (XHTML...the convergence of XML and HTML...http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/)

the "center" tag may be why different IE versions are interpreting it differently
