[RESOLVED] centering a div (not the text in it)

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I’m not sure if I’ve done it before, but (if there is a way) what is the css to center a div tag. I can’t remember how to do it.

This just made the text center:

[CODE]#content {
[B]text-align:center;[/B]
border:5px #000066 ridge;
background-color:#93DCFF;
padding:7px;
width:575px;
height:auto;
}[/CODE]

This code caused what is seen in the [URL=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=7151&stc=1]attached image[/URL]:

[CODE]<div id=”content” align=”center”>[/CODE]

I don’t want to use <center><div>…stuff…</div></center>

@Wiz_CreationsauthorJun 30.2006 — i got it by adding [B]margin:0px auto;[/B] to both the body and #content items in the css.
