Thank you Gunlaug Sørtun and David Laakso for your feedback. The solution was so simple it was almost to obvious :-) Just don't set a 100% width on the div and it will play nice with the margins. To clear up my vauge description of the problem. I have two divs, one 800px wide, centered (margin: 0 auto / text-align: center) and one below which should be 100% wide minus the margins.
Works like a charm =) ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
