Center DIV (XHTML & CSS) – no tables

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 21.2004

I want to make a website using XHTML and CSS.
I do not want to use tables for the lay-out but DIV-tags and CSS formatting.
I made a lay-out which looks okay on a 800 pixels wide screen.
When I go to a 1024 wide screen the lay-out still is okay but I have a lot of white space at the right side of the main frame.
I would like to center the frame (which is 770 pixels wide) so that on a 1024 screen my frame will have some white space on the left and on the right side but on a 800 screen my frame uses the whole screen.
An example of how this should be done is the side of Macromedia ([url]www.macromedia.com[/url]).
Can somebode help me with this please?
Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Peter

@David_HarrisonJul 21.2004 — Without seeing any code, I'd recommend doing this:body{
text-align:center; /* IE styles. */
}

#outerdiv{
text-align:left;
margin:0 auto;
}
