Subject: centre a div in a browser window

 

Hi All,

I am trying to move away from tables and getting stuck at some pretty easy
first hurdles.

 

When I used to use tables I could give the outside table the property centre
to make it position its self in the centre of a persons open browser window.
And then all other content would then be contained in the table and would
all stay centre.

How do I do that with a div tag? And even if I did do that, say I need one
big border round the whole page, how do I make the other div tags stay
within the containing div tag with the border applied ?

 

Does that make sense ?

 

TIA

 

Lisa
