I want to center a division but I can't! It works only in Internet
Explorer but it doesn't in Opera, Mozilla or Firefox...Here's the code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#body {
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}
#main {
background-color: #0099FF;
width: 780px;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="body">
<div id="main">Content for id "body" Goes Here</div>

Thanks! It fixed it ;)

What do you mean? I chose it because the page has to be readable on an
800px screen, and the content can't scale.

So you're deliberately excluding WebTV, handhelds and anyone running
less than 800px wide screens; and you're also forcing 800'ers to maximize.
Is there a reason the content can't scale (like large images) or is that
a design decision of yours?

I know, but my boss wants a fixed content. I showed him several web sites
with 100% width, but he said he wants white margins when the screen is
larger than 800px :s He said having white pargins is a trend that we have
to follow because it add clarity, but I don't agree.

Show him his page on a 1920px wide 24" widescreen monitor:
| | content | |
Side margins are fine, but there's no reason why the main content needs
to be pixel-sized. Size the margins in % and use max-width (not IE,
unfortunately) to constrain line length.
Good luck in getting that 24" monitor on expenses.

Really?

Not necessarily good idea. Better would have been to ask what page he
uses most, and then if that was fixed width, tell how it would be better
it it wasn't fixed width.
but he said he wants white margins when the screen is
larger than 800px :s
Well, that does not require fixed design. That is limiting width. Much
better than fixed pixel width, but still not very sencible.
And why he has this stupid idea of 800px? Why don't you make it em based
so that it will be about 800px on IE default font size?
He said having white pargins is a trend that we have

It actually is sometimes good idea to foolow trends. But if it was trend
to tell
