Centering issue with Firefox - 11/10/2005 6:14:10
Hello
On IE, my site is centred on the screen, which I've achieved with
body {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
margin: 0px;
text-align: center;
background-color: #EFEFEF;
}
But it doesn't work on Firefox. What do I need to do to get the whole thing centred with Firefox too?!
(Still quite new to CSS)
The site is here
Many thanks, kt

Hi
What I do is to stick all the content in a container div and center that -
#container {margin 0 auto; text-align:left;}
Aligning the text left in the container normalises it for everything within the container and means you don't have to keep repeating it lower down. I also keep text-align: center in the body element to centre properly in IE.

Tailslide: if you use a strict doctype i think you only need to use the margin:auto 0 bit in IE as well, at least that works for my site

The margin auto bit will work for IE6 with strict doctype in standards mode but I always thought IE5/5.5 were permanently in quirks mode - is that wrong?

I don't use strict doctype though, I use transitional even though the code is strict. JB i really must have a word with you about the meaning of LOGIC as opposed to WOMAN'S 'LOGIC' :
