Centering A Div without having to center the content in it

[iGuest 3]

Another way to center the div, is by placing it in <center> tags, and adding the following CSS:text-align: left;

That's correct but the center tag is deprecated and must be avoided, instead to get the similar result you use margin:0 auto as posted in previous posts.

Good suggestions from all. Here's another method I personally use with a negative margin. (I like the math! ) Works in IE6/7, FF, & Opera

#name {position: absolute; left: 50%;width: 600px; margin: 0 0 0 -300px;}

You can use position: relative; if you are centering to a parent element, rather than the browser's window.

Someone posted about the tag <center>. This tag is depricated and is no longer a valid HTML tag (as stated by the W3C - World Wide Web Consortium). So, yes use what TavoxPeru said.Just thought I would let you know!
