    Default Re: This can't be that difficult

    Mickey:

    It's just a div tag unless you also have a stylesheet that positions it on
    the page. If it's positioned, a center align makes no sense.

    In your case, your stylesheet is positioning both Layer1 and Layer2.

    Muray,
    Thanks for the replies.
    How do I get the page centered horizontally like this page -
    [url]http://www.bitwisesolutions.com/difference.asp[/url]. I realize this page is
    using tables to center everything but how do I do this using layers.... or
    whatever I'm using if it's not considered layers?

    Default Re: This can't be that difficult

    Mickey:

    Here's a post that Al Sparber made here last month -

    If you have nothing on a page except a layer, then it doesn't need to be a
    layer... it can be a static div or just start typing on the page.
    For a fluid page, simply use the body element to set margin:

    body {
    margin: 0 15%;
    padding: 0;
    }

    The page will be 70% wide and centered

    Alternatively, you can use a static div and set its left and right margins
    to "auto"

    #centeredDiv {
    width: whatever;
    margin: 0 auto;
    }

    (above requires a full doctype)

    However, IE5x on the PC does not support it, so here is a workaround:
    #divWrapper {text-align: center;}
    #centeredDiv {
    width: whatever;
    margin: 0 auto;
    text-align: left;
    }


    <div id="divWrapper">
    <div id="centeredDiv">
    Content in Here
    </div>
    </div>

    We have liftoff! I used the divWrapper and made some position changes to
    the other layers and it working like I want now.

    Thanks a ton!
