Re: [WSG] Main Content won't Center Align in IE

2005-04-01 Thread Roger Johansson

IE Doesnt understand margin: auto
IE6 does, as does IE5/Mac. Only if you are worried about IE5.*/Win do 
you need the text-align hack.

Hey Mario,
IE Doesnt understand margin: auto
You need to give the parent container text-align: center - then in the 
child (#container) have: text-align: left to fix the centered text.

Simply add this to your body {} CSS:
text-align: center;
Because you already have: text-align: justify - there wont be any other 
problems :)
aww and since your table is centered, that causes no problems either!

:)
Cheers

G'day Mates,
I've persuaded a client to convert their small web site to standards, and
I'm in the process of removing tables, and using CSS to control the layout
and design.
My problem is the main content area on the homepage is left justified in
IE, but center aligned in FF and Opera, which is correct. The following is
a snippet from my CSS file, which controls the main content area:
#container
{position: relative;
width: 760px;
margin: 15px auto;
font: 12px verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
text-align: justify;
line-height: 16pt;
color: #000;
padding: 10px;}
I want it to center align in IE too therefore what am I doing wrong?
Here's the URL for the test file: http://www.waltermortgage.com/index1.stm
Any advice is always appreciated!
Respectfully requested,

Hi,

I think your question is a kind of FAQ, and the solution is adding
text-align:center; style to the body element, I guess.

Add text-align: center to the body declaration.
body  { background: #fff; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center; }
(you may also want to run the HTML file through Tidy Online  
http://infohound.net/tidy/ to  check and clean it).

Best,

Re: [WSG] Main Content won't Center Align in IE

Chris,

I feel stupid! I completely forgot IE doesn't recognize margin: auto,
and I've inserted text-align: center in the CSS body rule in another
design.

Please forgive my temporary memory freeze :)

Again, I've just gotten started on the conversion, and do plan on removing
all table tags.

Thanks very much for the quick response, and my apologies for the post,
but sometimes it's the simple rules you forget.

Warm regards,
Mario
