[SOLVED] centering a div inside another div

[Stickybomb]

ok i have a liquid/fixed layout with header,footer and 2 columns. i am wanting to center a div inside of the right column, with no luck so far.

 

This is the basic layout that i have.

 

//CSS

body
{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}

#header
{
	height: 100px;
	background-color: #000;
}

#nav
{
	float: left;
	width: 180px;
	height: auto;
	background-color: #666;
}
#content
{
	margin-left: 10px;
                margin-top: 10px;
	height: auto;
	background-color: #fff;
}

#footer
{
	clear: both;
	height: 30px;
	background-color: #000;
}

//html

<div id="header"></div>
<div id="nav"></div>
<div id="content">
<div id="box">
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>

 

any help would greatly be appriciated!

 

thanks

Well the first thing that you need to do is close your content div like:

<div id="header"></div>
<div id="nav"></div>
<div id="content">
<div id="box">
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>

 

I'll assume that you are trying to center "box" right? If so you need to do this:

#box{
width:200px;
margin:0px auto;
}

 

and that should center it for you...you do need a width in there though.

 

Hope that helps.
