Hey guys,

I did a quick search and didn’t really find an answer - perhaps its cause i just got up and still wearing a towel. A wet towel…

Ive got this css running right now:

#text {  
position: relative;  
margin: 0 auto;  
width: 790px;  
height: 500px;  
z-index:1;  
}

It works perfectly in firefox but for IE it doesnt center. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance  
Tom
