hello everyone.

I am trying to create images with captions. I have code that works fine
except that I can find no way to centre the div within my container div.
any ideas?

Gregory,
I have used the following successfully. I believe this is what you are trying for. The right and left part is because the image was in a block of text and the text wraps around it either to the right or to the left, depending:

div.right {
        width: 352px;
        margin: 6px 0 4px 20px;
        padding: 0;
        float: right;
}
div.left {
        width: 352px;
        margin: 6px 20px 4px 0;
        padding: 0;
        float: left;
}
/*this is the caption*/
div.left p, div.right p {
        font: 10px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
        text-align: center;
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
}

HTML

<div class="right"><img src="images/ventana/2005/salt2.jpg" width="352" height="210" border="0" alt=""></a>
<p>El Saltamontes</p></div>

I hope that helps,

Don Hinshaw
