    Question IE Won't Center Like Firefox

    Hello,

    I've been scratching my goatee trying to figure out why in firefox my page is nicely centered, and in IE it doesn't (why the text paragraph doesn't center).

    Any hints appreciated.

    The beginning of the problem is in the first line of your HTML code....

    Working web site is not the one that looks the same in a few graphical browsers, but the one that adequately delivers its content to any device accessing it.

    So I changed:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

    To:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

    what's next?

    How would I write my doc type if I just wanted to go for "transitional"? Is there list somewhere of all possible doc declarations?
    thanks
