the way I've always centred stuff (and I got this idea by frequently
visiting mezzoblue.com, Dave Shea is a master!) is by having a container
div (I believe your <div class="white"> fits the bill for this) that has
its left and right margins set to auto, and putting "text-align:
center;" in your body css. Then of course you will need to put
"text-align: left;" in your css for paragraphs, or divs if you don't use
paragraphs for text (which you should really).
so, to summarise, your css should contain this (amongst your existing css):
body {text-align: center;}
p {text-align: left;}
.white {margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
I'm not claiming this is the best/right/etc way to do this, just a way
that has worked for me.
Cheers,
Dave
