Re: using css for centering

We also test under Linux, although we just sold our Mac as it was getting
outdated...:).  I've never thought or stated that the Web was only for
Windows...that'd be a pretty silly attitude...:)

I do agree that the proper way isn't always the supported way...that's
obvious.  However, I was intending to point out the proper way, and not all
the possible hacks, in my note.  The browsers I listed were intended to be
those that DID support the proper way.  I also included one hack that works
well in many other partially-compliant browsers without violating XHTML
Strict validation.  I can also, of course, add more hacks as we go backwards
in HTML versions.

We PC users also work hard at cross-compatibility...:).

Mac ie5.1 NS 6.2.2 aka 4.7.2 Opera 5 and iCab 2.7.1  So many browsers say
they use proper CSS2 code so few use most of it..  Mozilla yes on UNIX, but
I tried margin: auto;  All the browsers you list are for Windows only
except Mozilla.

I only brought that up for one reason the web is not only Windows.  Us Mac
web designers work hard at cross compatibility.  I had to buy a PC (NT) and
also run Linux to make pages work for everyone.

That is all I am saying.
