my div wont center

[dfrieber]

Hi all,

Here's a simple question:

why does my page ( www.frieber.com ) look centered on a mac (safari), but not on a pc (ie)?

im sure the answer is simple, i just cant think of the answer to this one.

Thanks a lot

Are you being forced in to using frames? Or was it by choice? Seems like unneeded complication.

*edit*

Oh, and just add text-align: center; to your body css definition.

I guess it worked, It looks centered in FF. :shrugs:

AHH of course...

thanks very much!

i feel like an idiot

Don't feel that way. It's an IE quirk, i'ts not standard..but yet another thing dev's need to do to apease all browsers. :) Glad I could help.

in case your interested the most stable way i have found accross all browsers to center your div is to simply add to the margin elements left/right the auto attribute or paste this into your style sheet>your holding div>

margin: auto auto

wouldn't margin: auto; be enough instead of repating it twice?
