If you're still trying to center a line with SPAN followed by BR, try a DIV instead. Yes, looked at the docs, and a DIV may be contained within a TD.

Applying alignments to spans is ineffective, as the span does not occupy any more space than it's content.

SPAN is a generic inline container, often used to replace the deprecated FONT element to apply arbitrary character styles (for consistency in non-CSS browsers, it's better to use a styled text attribute that conveys the appropriate meaning).

DIV is a generic block container, without implied margins
P is a the Paragraph block container, though often used as a Paragraph break.

Styled DIVs can often produce a similar layout to a table, and generally render progressively, where many browsers only render a table after it is complete.
