|  Winged-Feet | Nov 14, 2007 9:41pm | | Every time I try the standard method for centering a layout, I end up with centered text, too. Including text-align: left; along with the auto right and left margins in the #wrapper isn't overriding the text-align: center; in the body style tag. This is the doctype I'm using: DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd" The best I've been able to do is use absolute positioning instead of the standard method. Any thoughts or suggestions? |

Tip, indent your code! Also, you can style the html tag.
There is no reason at all that you should have to use text-align to align block content... I strongly suggest that you remove it and just go with the margin way. |
