Salt is neither an acid nor base. It doesn't donate any electrons at all when it disassociates in water. It's just an ionic bond.

I will also go on to say that the only thing table salt, and all ionic bonded substances and any strong acid/base is how the cations and anions disassociate in water. Other than that if it doesn't donate or take a pair of electrons it is not a base according to Lewis theory on acids and bases. Also NaCl doesn't form Hydronium with water do to the fact that it doesn't any H+ cations. Last thing, since it doesn't have any H or OH in it's formula unit, NaCl is not an acid nor base according to Arrhenius' theory. Therefore NaCl fits non of the theories for acids and bases.

Yeah, I didn't really get that question when I saw it.
