Alright I have two problems on a site I'm building. The first has to do with spacing.
http://aeuzent.cjb.cc/awdcr.html

There is no problem in IE but in Firefox there is a space of about 50px between the beginning of the green box and the top of the page, it fills with the background color. I can't figure out how to fix this. I've been fighting with it for a while.

Next is text formatting. I stuck an article on Petter Jennings in there as filler. The first section is where I try to format it with CSS, nothing happens. The one that follows is how I'd like it to look but it uses a table.

hi,

the answer for the second question first:

try this: <div style="text-align:center"><p style="width:750px">...</p></div>

for the first one:

give h1, in your case #title, no margin-top.

like this #title{margin-top:0;...}

The only thing that produced a response was the <p style="width:750px"> but it's still stuck to the right of the page.

hi,

sorry, but my computer did both things the way they should.
maybe there are some other styles which corrupt the on i gave to you.
just try them outside your postet code and they will work (i hope...

)

Ok that's crazy. I stuck a <br /> in before the title and the problem cleared right up.

Second problem has to do with centering an enture section, that wont center.

body { text-align: center;}

-or-

in your body tag:
<body style="text-align: center">

paste style="text-align: center" anywhere inside the <body> tag

Ok this is getting annoying. It fixed the problem in IE but in Firefox it centered while still stuck to the right

Are you using a table with this? If so then try:

<table align="center">

**spiralfive** · 08-10-2005, 03:18 PM

Nevermind the last post, try this as it should work:

<div align=" center" >

In your html code where it says "<div id="body">"

Replace with:

<div id="body" align="center">

I was hoping to do it with css but that works too
