Without seeing the rest of the page or style sheet, my first guess would be they were attempting to center the div in IE5 and IE6 in quirks mode, which don't calculate the auto value for margins. Or if there was some other reason the wrapper needed to be removed from the normal flow by positioning it, if it needed to overlap other elements for example. But it's also just as likely that whoever authored that rule simply didn't know about margin: 0 auto; -- Craig, www.focalcurve.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
