 Centering my content in CSS/XHTML
Well I did some coding the other day. I did it all perfect as it seemed Valid, Tableless, Error free XHTML!
But then I viewed my work and I got my background image to center perfect, but for some reason I cant get my Content to center with it. I tired inputing my own "px" poistion and it works fine with my resoultion, but mucks up in other screen sizes.
I was wondering if anyone could take a look at it and tell me how to center my content with the background image?
Regards;
Justin

You're probably better off using 2 DIVs to center a content, one for the actual centering and 1 being the container;
HTML Code:
<div align="center">
<div class="container">
content
</div>
</div>
Although don't forget to set a width and text-align: left within the CSS selector of 'container'.

for #container use
position: absolute;
left: 213px;
instead of using margins.

because 213 is center?
#container {
width: $width;
margin: 0 auto;
}
<div id="container">look at me i'm centered</div>

That won't work. You can't center a DIV element on it's own, you need a parent element to define the center alignment.

My suggestion can't not work, I always use it and has never failed for me. You don't need any margin or relative/absolute positioning;
HTML Code:
<div align="center">
<div style="width:200px;border:1px solid #000000;text-align:left">Try it for yourself</div>
</div>
