Hi,

How can I center a DIV tag with CSS?

I want to center it horizontally and vertically…

Here is my html & CSS: [LINK](http://cmdstud.khlim.be/~jcornelissen/JC/index.html)

It centers horizontally in IE but not in Firefox… and I faked the vertical centering with a margin-top :cantlook:

Anyone? :ear:
