body css

i have set the body of my site with a max and min width in the css. However when it is expanded in larger screen it is aligned to the left, how can i keep it centered. The obvious doesnt seem to work?

Any help?

Cheers

Centring a website using purely CSS goes something like so:

css Code:

body
{
    text-align: center;
}

div#container
{
    margin: auto;
    width: 200px;
}

Everything then becomes a descendent of the container DIV.

And when you only want to have the container horizontally centered do something like this:

CSS Code:

div#container { margin: 0 auto; }
/* The shortened version for margin: 0 auto 0 auto; */
