Re: CSS replacing tables for format

Here's what I would do:
<div style="width: 100%; margin: 0% 15%">
Text goes here
</div>

Just adjust your margins to your liking and the width will follow. the first
value for the margins is for top & bottom, the second value is for left and
right. You can also individually give each margin a value if you want to,
using margin-left, margin-right, etc.

HTH,
Lisa
