center a div but not the content

[eschnell]

I have a DIV tag that makes the page with say 80%.

 

I need to center the DIV but not the content of the DIV.

 

How would i do that?

 

Thank's for your help,

Eddie

Silly Me! 

 

body {

text-align: center;

min-width: 600px;

}

 

#wrapper {

margin:0 auto;

width:600px;

text-align: left;

}

set the width of the parnet container (fixed or percentage).

 

then you div (I'll call it cont) use

 

div#cont

{

margin: 0 auto;

width: 80%;

}
