Home › Forums › CSS › IE 7 Centering
trying to center my page layout in IE 7.
works fine in Safari, Firefox, Opera with the following :
body { margin: 0 auto; min-width: 990px; width: 990px; background: #000000 url(../images/bg.jpg); background-position: 50% 0; background-repeat: repeat-y; padding:0; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; }
but I can’t seem to get it to center properly in IE 6/7
any ideas?
cheers,
zanuka

You need that on your parent element to get margin: 0 auto; to work in IE.
Then you need "text-align:left;" on your <body> tag to make your text align left again.
(Although, I would not use your body as your page outline, I would make a <div ID="container"> or something similar.)
