Help for an IE 5.5 layout

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 22.2006

Hi,

I’m trying to make a simple page that will work in IE 5.5:
It should have a centered page container, about 760.
In that there should be a header row, then under that a navigation row.
Under that, a 4 square where each square is 380 width and 300 height.
And lastly under that, a footer row.

I tried making it but it would not center, and the right squares would not show up in firefox. Also there were overflow issues.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks! ?

@felgallSep 22.2006 — IE 5.5 uses the text-align:center to centre content rather than the correct margin:float used by other browsers. To get it to work for both you can set

body {margin:0; padding: 0; text-align:center;}

#content {margin: 0 auto; text-align:left; width:760px;}

Success!
