I went back and tried it again, and it works on my test case (don't know what I screwed up before.)
Thanks, J.R. PS...I still don't think I'll be using CSS for layout on client sites very soon. Still too unpredictable. -----Original Message----- From: Amanda Birmingham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2003 11:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [wdvltalk] Re: FW: centering a page J.R., When I downloaded your page & stylesheet to my machine and set it up with the auto-width margins centering, it seems to works fine (IE 6 on Win2k). I did have to change the example's width and id specified for the main container element to match those of your page; all I did was replace the body and FullContainer formatting in your stylesheet with body { margin:50px 0px; padding:0px; text-align:center; } #FullContainer { width:700px; margin:0px auto; text-align:left; padding:15px; } Let me know if you want me to send you a screenshot.
