You just set the width of the container div, then set the position (left) to 50%. That puts the left hand edge of the div in the center. Now pull it back half of the width of the div and you're at center :) [code] #container { position: absolute; left: 50%; width: 400px; margin-left:: -200px; } [/code] [url=http://www.oldmanpants.ca] [img]http://miniportal.ca/members/pics/2_sig_mini2.gif[/img] [/url] Loading...
