css centering

[baza]

I am trying to centre my website with margin auto but the rest of the site is full of position absolute divs. Will I have to re align them all as relative divs or is there a way round this

Do they really need to be be positioned absolutely? My guess is probably not...

are you saying that I just remove the position:absolute from the css

 

[ca8msm]

I'm saying that absolute positioning should only be used when absolutely necessary and in most cases you can just float items in order to get them correctly positioned. So, if they really need to be positioned absolutely them leave it in, otherwise remove it.

solved the problem by doing this

div.container
{
width: 850px;
text-align: left;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -425px;
}

That makes me think of cutting off your finger because it was hurting you.
