You'll likely want to use absolute positioning for this type of approach. If the width is 300px you push it out 50% and then negative margin back half the width.. so -150px.
That's a better way than using margin percentages. -- Jordan Dobson (425) 444-8014 http://Twitter.com/JordanDobson On Jul 24, 2010, at 9:45 AM, Alex Zylka <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there again.
