Align nested h:panelGrid in center

I am trying to include one panelGrid to another like a:

 <h:panelGrid id="A" border="1" columns="1" style="width: 100%; text-align:center; display: table">
            <h:panelGrid id="B" border="1" columns="3">
                <h:outputText value="Name : "></h:outputText>
                <h:inputText></h:inputText>
                <h:commandButton value="Add"></h:commandButton>             
            </h:panelGrid>              
        </h:panelGrid>

I have generated html like : 

    <table id="j_idt1:A" border="1" style="width: 100%; text-align:center; display: table">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><table id="j_idt1:B" border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Name : </td>
<td><input type="text" name="j_idt1:j_idt3" /></td>
<td><input type="submit" name="j_idt1:j_idt4" value="Add" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

...the thing is panelGrid "B" is always aligned to left despite the css text-align:center :P

That's what I have in eclipse web editor :

enter image description here

and that's what I have in firefox : enter image description here

So my question is how to locate included panelGrid(s) with eclipse wtp css editor?

Thanks

I don't think you are going about centering a panelGrid the right way. This has been discussed in several other questions on this site. panelGrid renders to a , a block level element. text-lign: center will just center the text in it. You should use margin: 0 auto to adjust the margins.

Edit: I made a quick project with your page and was able to center all 3 panelGrids: enter image description here

The code for it is below, (I added 10px top margins instead of 0 to more easily tell the panels apart):

    <h:panelGrid id="A" border="1" columns="1" style="margin: 10px auto; width: 100%; ">                            
        <h:panelGrid id="B" border="1" columns="2" style="margin: 10px auto;  width: 460px">
            <h:panelGrid border="1" columns="1" style="margin: 10px auto;">
                <h:inputText style="width: 310px; " ></h:inputText>                             
            </h:panelGrid>
            <h:commandButton value="Add"></h:commandButton>
        </h:panelGrid>
    </h:panelGrid>
