centering an image/div

Hi all,

Sorry for the bonehead question, but how do I center align either an image
or a DIV?

I realize that "align: center" isn't valid CSS-P, but what else is there? I
can't use "left: 50%" because this site should be fluid - since the graphic
image (and hence the DIV that it's in) is a fixed pixel width, it wouldn't
appear centered at some resolutions, even when using a percentage, right?

I saw a "vertical-align" in the specs, but not a "horizontal-align". What
else can I try?
