Centre Div

[Dysan]

Hi, how do I display a centred div, that keeps the margins in tact, similar to the page found at "yell.com"

one of div's and css's main drawback, the lack of "center"
you can set your left and top to 50% on the div, and then your left and top margins to offset half the div's height and width

How does Yell.com do it?

[rulian]

they set body widht and height to 100
and then text-aligning things center, and verticle align middle
take a look at their css

CSS:

#example {
width: 750px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

HTML

<div id="example">
