Centering a page

FrozenDice · 13-07-2005, 21:28

It seems that theres alot of websites which are centered and have some space they don't use on the right and left.

How do they center all their content? I've always used align="center" in the div tag but this causes crazy problems with the background, and when you want to limit it to a width and give a width it naturaly snaps to the left and just centers the content.

Am I missing some way where you can simply center a container for your content?
