i would if i could :)
just checked your code, seems perfectly ok with your example
except that the example (of quirksmode.org) doesnt use a doctype and
your do. removing your doctype removes your problem (but probably adds
amany new)
another way to center a block with a fixed with is:
div.container {
position: absolute;
width: 800px;
height: 600px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -400px;
margin-top: -300px;
}

This may work if you don't care what happens with a viewport smaller
than the specified div dimensions, or if the content doesn't contain any
text. Use with extreme caution.

But why that??? I have even tried using a HTML 4.01 transitional DTD. That
doesnt work either. Only leaving it out the DTD works at all.
Very strange?
Does somebody have deeper knowledge about the impact of using a DTD and
why it could f**k up my CSS centering?
Best regards,
Axel

With certain DTDs present you trigger standards mode. This causes the
browser[1] to follow the CSS specification more closely. Taking it out
causes the browser to emulate the bugs of older browsers so as to avoid
breaking sites which depend on those bugs.
Continuing to depend on them is unwise for forwards compatibility, so you
are probably best off leaving your DTD in place and finding a way to
achieve the effect with real CSS, or changing the design.
[1] Your browser that is. Not all browsers have Quirks mode.

Hi all,
I am trying to get a CSS defined layout to center on the page, have
tried doing this with the <center></center> tags but than everything
is centered, including text etc etc.
What should I put into the stylesheet so that, no matter what
resolution the viewer's screen is set to, the layout is always
displayed centered ?

For some time I've made use of the max-width property in CSS to cause
my pages to appear as a centered block against a contrasting
background. This works well in new browsers (Mozilla, etc.) and falls
back fine in IE6 and lesser creations. As one who practices "classic"
(i.e. dull) typography, this has always been satisfactory since I've
always used one-column pages.
I'm now trying a two column layout so I can include a sidebar, and am...

1. Horizontal centering a <divin browser window.
The current trend seems to be to place page content in a fixed width area in the middle of the
browser window. How is this achieved? If I use a top level <divthen I can place it with CSS
attribute 'left:', but this is a fixed offset. Is it possible to have a <divcentered in the
browser window?

SHORT VERSION
=============
I have a bunch of identical fixed-size single-celled tables that rest
against each other horizontally thanks to "float:left". These tables
are dynamically generated and the number of them can vary greatly. They
are all contained within a parent table cell, which is centred on the
page. But I am unable to find a way of centering these table cells
within the parent cell.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
