Hi,
I've posted this question a few months ago but didn't get a truly satisfying
answer then. So I'd like to post my question again:
How can I center a DIV? The content in the DIV should be left-aligned, but
the DIV itself should be centered, like:
----------------------------------
| |
| =============== ==== |
| | Foo | |
| | Another foo | |
| | Still a foo-bar | |
| =============== ==== |
| |
| |
----------------------------------
There should be no fixed widths. The width of the DIV should be the width of
the content.
TIA,
Axel Dahmen

You most certainly did, no less than 33 replies.
So I'd like to post my question again:

forgive me for bypassing a very entertaining thread and risking to give
a solution that may have been proposed already.
what works in IE: (doesnt work in gecko based browsers !)
<center>
<div style="width: 0%; text-align: left; border: 2px solid black;">
blabla<br>
blablabla<br>
blabla<br>
</div>
</center>
ps .. i can hardly imagine it would take someone more than a few months
to come with something simple as this, so i already fear that it wont be
completely to your satisfaction.

In that case, you didn't provide any solution at all.
in case you mean, 'for gecko based browsers', you are right. since i
have not proposed a solution for gecko based browser your remark is also
completely superfluous.
in case you mean, 'in general', you are completely wrong, as most people
use IE.
in any case, your remark doesnt contribute to answering the OP question.

To start with you last remark: Usenet is not a helpdesk. It's not here to answer
OP's questions. I'm not here to answer OP's questions or any questions.
As soon as someone posts a question in this newsgroup, others will start to
discuss. Maybe just the post, maybe just the question, maybe they divert from
the subject entirely from start on. If any answer comes along, OP is a lucky
man. It's pure chance.
Than the 'as most people use IE' bit: How would you like a RADAR that covers
'about 80%'? If one provides a solution, it should be for the world wide web.
That includes a lot more than damned fucking IE, the basterd crappy peace of
shit. Doesn't mean a solution shouldn't try to work in IE _as well_.
So, stands: a solution that excludes (knowingly) gacko based browsers
_is_not_a_solut ion_for_the_wor ld_wide_web.

quote you:

# the purpose of usenet is not defined by you, fortunatly.
if people like make use of usenet as an helpdesk, so be it, not up to
you to decide how people make use of usenet.
quote you again:

_is_not_a_solut ion_for_the_wor ld_wide_web.
# heheh, you make me laugh - now you also define what is good or bad for
the world_wide_web ?! you really have troubles to find solid ground
below your feet.
i bet you dont have a solution to OP's question that satisfies your own
criteria. in stead, you have lots of energy left over to crap on IE and
al those that use it.

Hi,
I am creating a table to list some data. The table is using a sorting and highlight function that I found from the net.
I can't attach image here, basically html will wrap the heading, therefore I notice the second line of the header is left align instead of centering. I believe it's because of the sort.htc script that will output an arrow when user click on the header to sort.
The code is as below:

I've found that for IE6+, if you add the property text-align:center to a
DIV, then *anything* inside it gets centered. That can be a table, an
object/embed, another DIV, an image, or some text.
Firefox and Safari on the other hand don't treat text-align in that way.
In my tests on those browsers, they only centers images and text. Any
DIVs, object/embeds or tables remain default unaligned and generally
appear on the left.
