Another Positioning Question

Hi,I am trying to create a Div that will be centered on the page, no matter what size the browser window is. Now should I be assigning a % somewhere in my CSS syntax or somewhere else? I know this is very simple, but I am still a little stumped and I'm very anal about my pages. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advanced!.

To center a <div> you can just do this:<body style="text-align: center"><div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 500px;">Some content</div></body>You can also do this (make the "left" property half of [100 - (width)]):<div style="width: 60%; left: 20%">Some content</div>

Building on Ingolme's example:CSS:

body{  text-align:center;}.center{  width: 500px;  text-align:left;  margin:0px auto;}

HTML:

<div class="center">....</div>

Using "margin:0px auto;" (requires the width to be set) centers the element in most browsers. But also using "text-align:center;" in the body and "text-align:left;" in the .center div centers the element in IE.
