Hey,
Sorry about my lack of script but i wrote a web page, then set it up to use a CSS script for formatting. I am trying to make a div actually move to the center of the page but all i seem to be able to get is the text to center within its box.;
text-align: center
and
<div class="mpar" align="center">
Neither of which move the box, only the text it contains.

and the CSS contains

.mpar {
background-color: #003921;
width: 500px;
overflow: auto;
border: 1px solid #000000
}

You can try something similar to

<div style="position: relative; left: 33%;
           width: 33%; border: 1px solid #000000">my div</div>

or perhaps

<center><div>my div</div></center>

or another one might be

<table width="500" align="center">
<tr>
   <td width="100%" align="center" valign="top">
      <div>my div</div>
   </td>
</tr>
</table>

HTH

Haha, once again I find myself even further into your debt.

As you suggested I found that using <center> tags
worked for what I was after.

Thank you ever so much for your help, i am deeply grateful.
