Hi I have a header div at the top of my page with a background header image. I am trying to add some text to the center of that image using a H1 tag instead of adding it to the image in photoshop(so that I can change it quickly when needed). This H1 tag is inside my header div as shown below:

The problem is it just sits at the top of my header image and I cant move it into position using padding or margin? Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

<div id="header">
<div id="logo">
<hr/>
Your logo or web ad: could go here
<hr/>
</div>

<div id="date">
<hr/>
<div>
<p style="font-size: 9px;">MAY/JUNE</p>
<p class="date">
</p>
</div>
</div>
<hr/>

<h1>
<a href="index.html">
Your Company
</a>
</h1>
</div>

box

What CSS have you used? A link to the live page would be best - but just the HTML tells us nothing.

add "margin: 0 auto" to your header I think ;)
