centering ellements using css?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Joel:
I should warn you, however, that IE5 won't like it. Luckily, though, it screws up the CSS standard by horizontally aligning both inline and block elements with text-align. So you'll want to add the following to your stylesheet (I updated the previously linked example to account for this):


--- Code: ---body { text-align: center; }
body * { text-align: left }

--- End code ---

minor point: the width is 70% not 90%, I was a little scared when it claimed to be 90% wide... :)

No vertical align? and what about the property verical-align ?

I'll eat my hat.  I swear I'd looked for that before and not found it.
