It works in IE. You need to make sure to specify the width of the element you’re centering and you also need to use a proper doctype. If you’ve done both margin: 0 auto will center elements perfectly fine in IE.

Remember, margin: 0px auto don’t work on IE. For IE you should add text-align: center on outer element. Complex code for you case is
body {text-align: center}
#wrapper {text-align: left; margin: 0px auto}

Thanks for letting me know Linda. Looks like I left a quote in the wrong place and all the links were broken. They should be working now.

Glad to share Mike. I think you’ll like Eric Meyer’s books then. I hope so at least. I worked through the one book over a few days. I started with the code he provided and did type in all the changes and a week later I was developing sites in css.

Steven, Thanks so much for sharing the resources. I’ll definitely be looking into those books. The problem I was having was that so many of the books and resources I found explained what CSS was and not really how to use it.

Bryan, It’s really up to the browsers to do what the standard says to do. I don’t think any browsers are ready yet for the spec and again the spec isn’t even finished. For example I don’t think any will honor border-radius yet, but WebKit based browsers support -webkit-border-radius and Mozilla based browsers support -moz-border-radius.

I’m with you on wanting to use css3 now, but we’re still going to have to wait for browsers to adopt it. For now we’ll have to use progressive enhancements for some browsers. By the way you can use JavaScript to created rounded borders. I’ve used jQuery for it in the past. Maybe I’ll see about writing a post on how.

Well, if I can continue with the CSS3 theme.

Has the coding be finalized? Ive taken a swing at doing it and think, it takes alot of steps to make something like rounded boxes. Or shadows.

Thanks Steve. When you’re used to tables, css can be a bit to get used to. You may really like the Eric Meyer books. He starts with a page developed with a table and little by little turns it into an all css page. It really helps show you the css frame of mind.

GREAT resources. I really appreciate the post. It’s not easy being old-school (tables) and moving to CSS.
