I have seen a tutorial on youtube which centers a site by giving margin: 0px auto; and by saying the actual width of the site:
body
{
align:center;
margin: 0px auto;
width: 1000px;
}
But this does not work for ie8. IS this a good idea to use in order to align to center the layout?
It works in IE6 and newer providing the browser is in standards mode. Trigger it with a Doctype such as:
Since the alternative is quirks mode, and that creates many inconsistances with other browsers, standards mode is highly desirable.
So, yes that is a good method to centre things.
That, on the other hand, is nonsense. There is no
alignproperty in CSS.
