[RESOLVED] Centering doesn't work in IE

[narutodude000]

style="width:750;margin-left:auto;margin-left:auto;"

Why doesn't the above code work in Internet Explorer 8? It works perfectly in Google Chrome.

Two possible reasons.

I think you meant to use:

style="width:750;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"


to set both left and right margins to auto.

If that doesn't work, I think I recall something about quirks mode in IE (7 at least) throwing off the ability to center block-level elements using margin: 0 auto so use the validator (http://validator.w3.org/) to validate your document

I tried the validator, my webpage was perfect.

There must be something else going on here.

Post ALL your html for the web page so we can see what doctype you declared for the validator.

You didn't state which validator you used. Was it the markup or css validator?

You might also find you need to specify the units for the width value.

I tried lots of different methods and it turns out text-align:center worked.
