Hi Keith, If I understand you correctly, you just need to enclose div#textpic in another div, then apply the styles that are currently defined for #textpic to that enclosing div. After that, applying margin: 0 auto; to #textpic should do the trick.
Markup: <div id="wrapper"> <div id="textpic"> </div> </div> CSS: /* These are the styles currently defined for #textpic */ div#wrapper { float: right; margin: 1em 7em 15em auto; max-width: 575px; height: 100%; min-height: 100%; padding-top: 7px; border: 1px dashed blue; } /* This will center #textpic within #wrapper */ div#textpic { margin: 0 auto; } T On Sun, Aug 7, 2011 at 6:55 PM, Keith Purtell <keithpurt...@gmail.com>wrote: > I'm trying to revise the entry page to my site.
