    On most of my sites I use a css class like this:

    Code:
    .center {
    width: 100%;
    text-align: center;
    }

    Which I use to center any text on the site that needs to be centered. The problem is that IE6 is throwing me a strange problem. The text centers, but it is like the width is only set to 50%. This results in really ugly centered text. I can’t figure out a solution, any suggestions? Why might this be happening, it doesn’t make sense to me.

    Maybe I’m not thinking this through enough… but why bother with the 100% width?

    Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am applying this to block elements (div, h1, etc). If width: 100%; is not set that it has no effect since the element is only as wide as the text itself.
