text-align: center;
padding: 0;
}

#outer {

I want to embed a list of styles into the 'body' section of the HTML - to style an item listing on EBAY.

They control the HEAD of the document, so I have no way to put anything there.

@VladdyMar 23.2004 — hmm.... that is a good one [reason]

While it is not legal, it seems like both IE and Gecko recognize the style element found in the document body and apply declaration within it correctly. It also does not seem to matter where the style element is inserted within the body.

So, since the HTML blocks you are using on e-bay have a limited lifespan ? and you are not concerned about validation, I would go ahead and put style element wherever you please.

Thanks for helping in acquiring this piece of information ?

Not legal -- that kills me. It's appalling that the metaphor of criminality has come to be applied to the use of privately-owned property like a computer. Every time I see the "illegal operation" alert on my computer I feel like using a sledge hammer to make kitty litter out of it.

@BigjohnauthorMar 30.2004 — And it does not work at all in NETCRAP...at least not version 7

@toicontienMar 31.2004 — Can we see the code? The reason I'm skeptical about not getting it to work in NS7 is because NS 7 was based on the 1.0 version of the Gecko Runtime Environment. So, it should work in NS7 if it works in Mozilla... should ?

It works in Firefox and IE5/6.

It breaks in Netcrap. Netcrap seems to ADD a <head> statement infront of the STYLE block, at least when I look at the 'view source' option....
