RE: [WSG] display differences firefox ie 7.0

2008-02-07 Thread Darren Lovelock
If you place text-align: center; on the body tag in the CSS and then margin:
auto; on the first 'container' divider then the web page should be
centralised in Firefox and IE.
 
Like this:
 
body { text-align: center; }
#container { width: 960px; margin: auto; }

Someone earlier this week sent a very good presentation that explained a lot
of the problems you are facing. It is quite a long presentation (more of a
lesson really!) but it answers a lot of the problems you are having. There
are also a collection of great links sprinkled through that we could all
find useful in our bookmarks list. 

give it a whirl!

Like this:

#container { width: 960px; margin: auto; }


If you use that technique, then don't forget to set text-align back  
to left on #container.


... but it is pretty pointless today - IE has supported margin: auto  
for many years now. Just make sure you aren't in quirks mode.

I've noticed that my site is centered it ie 7.0 but left justified in

workarounds to keep them in sync. In this case I would like it centered

Re: [WSG] display differences firefox ie 7.0

2008-02-05 Thread Christian Snodgrass

In wrapper, change the margin to be:
margin: 0 auto;

To center block-level elements, you set margin-left: auto and 
margin-right: auto (margin: 0 auto is a shortcut for that). In IE, at 
least IE6, it wrongfully would let you use text-align: center to 
position block level elements. Not sure about IE7. FF only lets you use 
the margin method.
