CSS simple question?

Using CSS I want to center a DIV on the page and always keep it 3px
from the top. Seems simple but I cannot find a cross-browser solution
to this problem. I can get to work in IE or FF but not both w/o
relaxing the 3px from the top constraint. Can someone offer a solution
to this problem?

...not multi-post. Cross-post only if absolutely necessary. You have
answers in alt.html (This is Usenet, not Google Groups.)

body {
text-align: center;
}
#container {
top: 3px;
width: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
}

This is incorrect. text-align property aligns *text* not block elements.
To center a block element within its container set a width to the block
element and set the right and left margins to auto...
#container {
top: 3px;
width: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
}
The problem most likely is IE's 3-pixel bug and your solution relies on
quirks mode so it is unlikely to solve the problem

Take care,

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