Mark, I am a beginner myself. However, the answer to your first question is yes, just add the attribute: text-align: center; in your css file into the overall div that is containing the content div. Now, if you set a border around your container div, then the border should always collapse around your content. However, as for differing sizes on your content, that sounds like a fluid layout, and I am guessing that IE will give you many problems. My suggestion is use a fixed width on all of your pages to remain consistent. Generally, this makes the website more professional looking (IMHO). Can you give us a mock up or an example site that you want this happen on? It would make it a lot easier I believe for all us. Good Luck, Martin ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
