It will be interesting to see whether such approaches (and the -50% margin trick) work. Some of this thread is already summarized here: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=CenteringBlockElement I have to try this out myself. It's a pity it's so difficult when it seems such a simple demand, but I can understand why, if the browser window is considered solely as a view-port over the actual document. Maybe in that case, we should look at using static positioning for it? ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
