Centering a Div Horizontally working for all browsers including IE

3 New Member
I have a div container that i have created now i just want to make sure that its horizontally centered in any browser and in any resolution, so that when ever its on 800x600 or 1280x1024 its STILL centered horizontally no matter what, instead of sticking to the left side of the browser window in different res' or window adjusting of any kind.
Thank you kindly

The align attribute is deprecated here is an example how you can align an element.
[html]<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-color: blue;
}
.clsWrapper
{
text-align: center;
}
.clsTest
{
height: 250px;
width: 250px;
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid black;
}

</style>
</head>

<body>
<div class="clsWrapp er">
<div class="clsTest" >
Hello World
</div>

</div>

.. I try to use CSS when possible, though I am still learning and don't maximize its use. In particular, I still use a table to provide for a centered image in a few slideshows (though table vertical align doesn't work in Mozilla): http://zintel.com/homepics.html I've used combinations of <center>, style align 'center', table cell align, valign and height='100%' to get what I want, but I wonder if CSS can do it by itself.

Is there a way to center (horizontally) a UL list of unknown width? I can put it in a DIV that's centered with "margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" but I then have to specify a width; otherwise the auto values get set to 0 and there is no centering. The list is generated dynamically, and there is no way to tell in advance how long each item is going to be. Alternatively, is there a good formula to determine with a reasonable...

Hi, We have an application that requires IE. We recently incorporated CSS scroll areas. The scroll fields are supposed to be centered. They are except for IE5 for the Mac. I have tried various suggestions on the net without any luck. I have the code for the whole page below. I've taken out all the Mac specific code that I tried and didn't work. Centering is done by a separate <div> tag. If anyone knows how to get the scroll area to...

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 trying to center a DIV horizonally, but I want the DIV fluid so that it is just wide enough to encompass its contents. I've tried margin:auto with no joy :( I've set up a demo here: http://www.thebunnyshed.co.uk/centertest.htm ps. google screwed up my first post somehow.

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...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
