Table Caption Issue

I used the Insert Table feature, defined my table and added the caption. It
looks fine in Design View but when saved and previewed in a browser the
caption only spans the Header Column and not the entire table. Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Sure. Post a link to the page so we can see what the code looks like. Right
now it's like someone writing and saying they baked a cake and it didn't
taste good. Then asking how to fix it. Where's the cake?

It's not actually online yet, I'm still building the site. What should I do?

Here's the code for the table:

<table width="600" border="0" align="center">
<caption>
Directional Sensor Accuracy (0? to 90?)
</caption>
<tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<th width="50%" scope="row">Inclination</th>
<td>?0.1?</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#999999">
<th width="50%" scope="row">Azimuth</th>
<td>?0.1?</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<th width="50%" scope="row">Toolface</th>
<td>?0.1?</td>
</tr>
</table>

And here's the code from the CSS File, I'm not sure which is causing the
issue. (this part is not finished yet)

table {
font: normal normal 14px/1.25em Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif;
text-align: center;
}

th {
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
text-decoration: none;
}

tr {
height: 2em;
}

td {

}

tbody tr.odd td {
background: transparent url(images/bg_w_trans.png) repeat top left;
}

caption {
display: block;
background-color: #0079c2;
color: #FFF;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}

Thank You!

It's the display:block; that is doing it - not sure why -
what was the reason giving it this ?

"The simple answer is "a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing" I
wanted to put a background color behind it and assumed it needed the
display:block setting to achieve that as opposed to just the background-color:
#0079c2.

Thanks again!
