Text positioning inside TD tag not working in Firefox

Hi,

I'm trying to position text within a TD tag

TD.mainPageText {
text-align: right;
position: relative; 
left: -20px
}

and...

<td class="mainPageText" width="210">chocolate from ...blah blah</td>

Odd thing is it works okay in IE, but only partially works in firefox (it still aligns right but won't move it to the left of the cell by 20 pixels. It's driving me nuts...any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Adam.

Re: Text positioning inside TD tag not working in Firefox

this code is trying to move the table cell TD relative to its current position... either give it padding... or better yet, style a paragraph inside the TD
