[jQuery] Re: How to center div horizontally + vertically?

[Shawn]

I seem to remember seeing a center() plugin once.  But that was pre 1.2 
days, so it may not be applicable anymore.

Regardless, the best way I know of to center a DIV is to use CSS. 
Something like this:

#mydiv { margin: 20%; }
or even { margin: auto } in some cases.

There's PLENTY on this topic on the web

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering the best way to center a div horizontally and vertically
on the fly.

I have:
jQuery("a").click(function () {
                            jQuery("#box")./*verticalCenter().*/
add("#loading").show();
});

Basically I just want #box to be centered on the screen and then
shown. I'm clueless as to how to do this, however. I tried using an
excerpt from an older version of the Dimensions plugin that I found on
here, but it seems to be outdated now (it doesn't work in Safari).

Thanks!
