WFM - does all of the above - in Opera 5.12 and Mozilla 0.9.5 on
PC/Win98.
There's a, to my mind slightly more useful/general, way of centering
using zero offsets and auto margins:
#foo {
position:fixed;
top:0;
bottom:0;
left:0;
right:0;
height:20%;
width:30%;
margin:auto;
text-align: center;
border: 2px solid lime;
background: rgb(211,211,211);
color: navy;
}
Hopefully something like the proposal outlined at:
<http://members.netscapeonline.co.uk/valeriegsharp/W3Cstyles/>
will be adopted, making it possible to use this method to center
vertically (& horizontally) with height (& width) being based on
content.
