centering a Div ?
Posted by Piliger on July 29th, 2003

I am fairly illiterate when it comes to Divs and have created one to
put a table with an image in it.

Now I need to center the Div across the page so that it will be
centered on a 1024*768 page as well as an 800*600 page.

Is there a simple tag for this ?

This is the CSS for the Div:
background-color: #FFFFFF;
position: relative;
width: 735px;
margin: auto;
left: auto;
top: auto;
right: auto;
bottom: auto;
z-index: 1;

Just put that div between:

<div style="width: 100%: text-align: center">

and

</div>

I had thought there was a centering tag, but clearly not.

Tks.

Well there is <center></center> but I guess it's probably deprecated.

Blimey, that's the first time I've been accused of suggesting IE only
stuff.

What was I drinking at the time?
