Some help with Centering Please

Recommended Posts

I'm using a script that I have successfully centered in FF using CSS. But the layout in IE is still fixed to the left? www.jcsurf.net

This , I believe is the relevant part of the CSS file

html {

    margin: auto;

    padding: auto;

}

BODY {

    FONT-SIZE: 12px; BACKGROUND: #4268FF; FONT-WEIGHT: normal;

    FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; COLOR: red;

    margin-left: auto;

    margin-right: auto;

    width:750px;

 

Can someone advise me on what's missing or what needs to be altered? Thanks in Advance

Your approach is terrible.  You shouldn't be setting the width on the body itself.  Since you are using tables for layout, you should set the table to 750px and the set the left/right margin of that table to auto;

 

I would do something like

 

body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
...
}

#maintable {
margin: 0 auto;
}

 

in your html have 

 


<body>
  <table id="maintable">
  ...
  </table>
</body>

 

I would also consider dropping the tables for layout since you are already posting this in a css board.
