CSS simple question?

[hzgt9b]

Using CSS I want to center a DIV on the page and always keep it 3px
from the top. Seems simple but I cannot find a cross-browser solution
to this problem. I can get to work in IE or FF but not both w/o
relaxing the 3px from the top constraint. Can someone offer a solution
to this problem?

With out a URL to see what you are doing I will just have to guess
what you code looks like. So I say you are missing a ":" in the CSS.

Any one else want to take a guess?

Three pixels, eh?

But as you say, Travis, without a URL to the page, everything is a
guess.

I'll bite. If it is a vertical margin, I would say to make sure
you zero margins and paddings, up to but not necessarily as
drastic as

* {margin: 0; padding:0;}

and then set explicit margins and that way you will increase your
chances of browsers behaving similarly.
