Horizontal & Vertical Centering

I *HAVE* Googled the hell out of it, but there's nothing I can
understand (in words of one syllable or less) that works for me.

If you go to http://www.journeys.ws/layout.html, on the
header/banner I'm trying to center the text vertically and
horizontally to the right of the image on the left. As you can
see, I've got the vertical part, I just can't get the horizontal
part to go along with it.

Any ideas?

Hat in hand, I beseech thee... ;-)

TIA

In your amm.css file, in the #outer properties add "margin: auto;" and
it will center that div in the remaining space to the right (in
Mozilla/Netscape). I'm not sure how to make it do so in Internet
Explorer, since nothing I try seems to work. Good luck getting IE to
display it right though :)

Thanks, but I'd seen that one. I don't want to h & v center a
fixed size block in the browser area. I want to h & v display
*any* text alongside of a floated image within a div.
