Hello,
I have a quick n easy CSS question.
I want to make a website that is fixed to 800px width.
What is the best, cross browser compatible way, to center it ?
Is their a better way of doing it than this ?
html
head
titletest/title
/head
body
style
#test
{
width: 800px;
}
/style
div id=base
Hi Lee,
The best way to center a website is to center the body then add a left and
right auto margin on your wrapper div. In the wrapper div you should set the
text-align back to left otherwise all your text will be centered:
body {
text-align:center;
}
#wrapper {
margin:0 auto;
