Hi Jack,

Glad you think it's not much work.

Wow Vinny, that was quick.

I'm sorry to say but:
I can't use #1 because of the NN4-problem.
I can't use #2 because the is more than text. It contains rollover images etc as well.

But, to cheer you up:
I can use #3!!!! Hooray!!
Little bit dumb of me not coming up with that (...)
I'm aware of the fact that I have to deal with the users different resolutions, but to solve that little problem shouldn't be too much.

Thanks!

Morning Jack,

Gee, you don't want much, huh?
OK, I've never needed to, but if you mean for resizings, etc. Try one of the following:
1) For IE: document.all.divID.align = "center"; NN4 has no such command, so you'll have to determine it on the fly (see # 3 for ideas)
2) place it within a cell in the middle of the page. If the div is more than text, you may have problems with NN 4 and event handlers.
3) determine the document's size and set the positioning accordingly, something like:
centerY = window.innerHeight / 2;
centerX = window.innerWidth / 2;
If you know the height & width of the div, you can then use the center to determine the offsets.
lPosition = centerX + (divWidth/2);
tPosition = centerX + (divHeight/2);
...style="position:absolute; top:" + tPosition + ";left:" + lPosition .....

Hope this helps
Vinny
