Centering a menu in a div

Hi Gang,

I have a horizontal asp menu in a div. I centered the menu by setting the
text-align prop of the div to 'center' and that works in IE. But with the
other browsers, the menu aligns left. I tried fiddling around with padding
but that does not work because items are added to the menu at runntime and I
can never know the width of the menu.

Thanks for any ideas.

Hello This is a test example: http://www.markusernst.ch/anthracite/ http://www.markusernst.ch/anthracite/living_divani.html After googling and experimenting for several hours, I ended up doing this demo with tables. The main problems are the vertical centering of the info area, and of the text inside the squares.

If I use the horizontal/vertical properties of "background" or "background-image", the positioning only works with specifying pixels. If I specify the vertical position in pixels, the image gets cut-off at the bottom. I don't know what to do and would appreciate anyone's help. Specifically the code...

Hello, is there a way to menu control dynamically center itself horizontally on a page? I have placed a menu control in a panel control (no ajax) and would like it to center itself. Depending on whose logged in, the menu, or course, displays different items, sometimes just two items, other times many more. If all menu items are displaying, centering is not a problem but when only two items are displayed, the menu appears on the left hand...

I'm working on this site: http://www.essenceofsoy.com/redesign/index2.html and I'm having a few problems with getting the layout exactly right. 1) When the menu items are rolled over, they cannot be clicked as links unless the mouse pointer is below the word. This happens in both Firefox and IE6. 2) In Firefox, the pink quote banner and two gray form boxes above and below the content aren't centered in the "content" div, and I can't...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
