[thelist] Horizontal element alignment with CSS1

hi paul

you've pretty much stumbled on it

throw yer stuff into a div which has text-align:center

watch out for inheritance, though -- if you have a paragraph in such a div,
not only will the p be centered in the div (taking into account margins and
padding), but the text in each line of the p may be centered too, so you
then have to turn around and give text-align:left back to the p... does
this make sense?

oh, and don't forget to test in all browsers...  [sigh]
