centering

[Bill]

Hi


Margin: auto doesn't seem to work in IE.

Is there another way to have a <div> smaller than the screen to be centered
for any scr.width ?
Like <table align="center"> does.

Thanks

The reason your IE doesn't respond to auto:margin, is probably that
you don't have a complete doctype. Means it will be in Quirksmode, (as
opposed to standards mode), just like IE5 naturally is.

The above link shows how to deal with IE5, and that should work for
IE6 in Quirksmode too.

Re: centering

css:
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 760px;
}

html:
<div id="container" >
hello
</div>

If you have the correct doctype as Els mentioned, this should work

You must also set a width less than 100%.
