centering (the usual)

[evilgandhi]

hello peoples,

as usual its the old centering issue that (for me anyway) plagues my website design life......

i'm trying to center the contact info box on this page.....

http://gandhiproductions.herobo.com/...4/contact.html

it need to be dynamic, so it stays centered if the window is resized....

i've tried finding info on the net about this but nothing works....

help anyone.... any help?

thank you

To center an object, it needs a width (presumably smaller than the object it's being centered within), it needs auto left and right margins, and the document needs a doctype. The only thing you're missing is the auto margins.

Hello evilgandhi,
You have more than just a centering problem. You have some divitis there, you don't follow the box model and you float a full width element. Look at these changes to your CSS -

#centercontactbox{
		/*height:270px;
	width:400px;*/
width: 410px;
margin: 0 auto;
clear: both;}

#contactbox{
	/*height:270px;
	float:left;*/
	width:400px;
	padding:5px;
overflow: auto;
	background:#6194aa;
	text-align:center;
}
