Question

Centering in IE5/6/7/8, and FF

Answer 1

+3 A:

When you said "It appears like this" there wasn't anything to look at.

The first thing I would do is validate your code, as the <ul> tag you have is used improperly:

http://validator.w3.org/

The primary purpose for validating your code is for browser compatibility.

I can't see the CSS you're using, and I haven't ever tested with IE5, but I would try using

margin: 0 auto

to center your divs. It will probably be much more effective.

Hope that helps :)

You can also add 'align="center"' to the div tag itself.

Answer 3

A:

To align a block level element in the center, you need:

margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;

Answer 4

A:

#YoutubeClip {
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
}

0 = top and bottom auto = left and right

having this on the div that wraps the content within it should center the entire block and will keep it centered even if the users browser is not maximized or is re-sized.

If you are looking to center the content within the block and not the block its self

text-align: center; needs to be added to the h3 and other tags within #YoutubeClip

is what you will be looking for

I would suggest adding <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> to the top of your html file before attempting to validate so that you have a solid base to start with for validation.

As for your <ul class=""> it can be changed to a <div class=""> if your planning to use it the way you are showing in your code example. Otherwise you will need to add <li></li> around the content within it (for each separate row).

EX:

<ul>
   <li>content goes here</li>
   <li>more content</li>
</ul>
