Trying to center align

[Kris]

DIV.container
{
text-align: center;
}

should do the trick.

Are you intentionally or unintentionally spreading misinformation? In
any case, I friendly ask you to stop doing that.

You have float right and left but not center.
To center something you have to scratch your head a lot and use some tricks.

#blah {
width: 50%;
margin: auto;
}

That's "a lot of tricks"?

Yep and is not intuitive at all.

Nothing here is suggesting that #blah will be centered.

If you type...

#blah {align:center;}

That is easy, intuitive and simple.

KISS! Always the best.

Merry Xmas Toby. You are great in css but it doesn't mean they are
simple. That means that you are good.

No it's at best ambiguous. Does it mean:

(1) horizontally center the inline content? (i.e., the equivalent of
text-align: center)

or

(2) center a block between its margins (with the inline content within
centered or not)?
