Subject: Re: [css-d] centering elements via margin: auto

. . . If the body had no text alignment (the default is text-align: left) then 
you don't have to restate text-align: left on any element unless an ancestor 
has text-align: center already. The CSS is less complicated if you only center 
what needs to be centered.

. . . Apart from text-align: center centering text, it also centers images. The 
real poison is that for IE, text-align: center will center all descendant 
elements as well, so be careful. The text-alignment that you would achieve with 
the CSS as above could be stated.

#container {margin 0 auto;}

Kind Regards, Alan


Many thanks, Alan.
