I'd like to arrange some divs like this using CSS...

Code:

Each box above being one div containing a centered image, how can I do that? I can't seem to figure it out. I'm fairly new to CSS. Help please?

you gotta float the divs to the left:

Thanks so much. Whoever wrote that thing on csstricks is very clear, never understood the concept of floats and collapses like that.

Now what if I wanted to center the cluster of divs on the page?

Try to put the div inside a table and align the table to center...or put all the divs inside a div and align tat div in center...

Hi there Raerae,

you may find the following example mildly interesting or not.

Yeah I'm actually trying not to use tables at all.

Something like this?

This demo displays 2 rows of 3 containers each with red borders centered on the page. You can then put whatever you like in each <li>

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
        <title></title>
        <style type="text/css">
            #myList {
                list-style-type: none;
                width: 70%;
                margin: 0px auto 0px auto;
            }
            #myList li {
                float: left;
                width: 32%;
                height: 20px;
                border: 1px solid red;
            }
        </style>
        <script type="text/javascript"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <ul id="myList">
            <li></li>
            <li></li>
            <li></li>
            <li></li>
            <li></li>
            <li></li>
        </ul>
    </body>
</html>
