My solution would be: [code] .center{ position: absolute; left: 33%; right: 33%; min-width: 32%; //to keep the container open when there is no (or not enough) content. } [/code] Both left and right can adjusted at will. If the center element is the biggest you could set the left and right to 25% then the center will use half the screen. I guess this should also work with tables or p elements but i need to do some experimenting with it. Maybe your solutions is better in the real world i don't know. ------------------------------ Support [url=http://www.justice4pat.com/]Justice for Pat Richard[/url] Loading...
