Hi Mike et al,
I am using the following CSS on my tables:
it does as expected with the table, however it leaves a blank space where the floated table *would have been* inline.
a) is this expected behaviour?
b) is there a way to make that unwanted blank space go away?
c) if not, is this something that is expected to be addressed at some point?

Figure 4.1 summarizes these findings. When both disposition and outcome are positive or negative, inferences are dispositional. When outcomes are mismatched, attributions are often situational.

For behaviour of, or involving, members of the in-group, expectations of success and failure are important factors in determining what type of inference/attribution is made. If success is expected, then positive outcomes result in dispositional attributions and negative outcomes are likely to result in situational attributions. When failure is expected, positive outcomes are likely to result in situational attributions and negative results should lead to dispositional attributions. Figure 4.2 summarizes these expectations.

While affect may be a factor in changes in group membership, it is not the primary cause. Instead, changes in group membership within a given issue domain are likely to occur due to a violation of
