positioning elements using CSS

[blues77]

I'm having trouble postioning some elements using a class definition i wrote in one of my CSS. Currently the class looks like this:

.menu {position:absolute; font: bold 15px arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color:black; background-color:#0000b3; top:200px; left:320px }

this class is associated with a div tag in my html document and i want to be able to center the contents of the tag instead of using the "left" property. I tried text-align and align properties but neither seem to work.
any help would be greatly apprecied.

Thanks

<div class=menu align=center> ... </div>

I tried putting the align=&quot;center&quot; option in the div tag but that doesn't seem to work either. I think the class must override it or something. Brawn

Its whatever is in between your div tags that is causing the problem. the Align=center does work on the div tag, just try removing all the code from in between the tags and just put some text in it and it will align center. It may be due to styles applied to elements inside your div tags.
