IE centering - HTML / CSS

Ryan W Sims

I'm having trouble with centering in IE...

http://www.ryanwsims.com/koh/

The image should center over the text. It does in Firebird, but not in
IE for some reason. If you look at

http://www.ryanwsims.com/sd.php

everything's fine (i.e. centered)

Any thoughts? (sorry if I'm opening an old thread)

Some new information: since the page is PHP generated, I'm now using
php to get the size of the image, do some math, and use relative
positioning. However, I'm still curious about this...IE still isn't
centering, it's just placing the image according to coordinates. It
seems that my solution is somewhat inelegant.

It seems over-complicated. Just put the image in its own container,
and apply a style of text-align: center to it.
