O.P. centering <div> tags
hi, i need another bit of hjelp with the website im working on.
i have a links menu which is set to display the links using the <li> tags "inline" and the .div tag is set to be 750px with borders etc etc and that is all ok. but my question is how can i center this? i want to keep the text alignede to the left as i have it now but want the overall "box" to be in the middle of my page.
i tried using the <center></center> tags around it but that centered my text also so wwas not what i wanted. can anyone please help me?

thanks.

EDIT: just found out it does work (is centered) in internet explorer, but how can i get it to work in firefox also?

That's something each person has to figure out by themselves. I won't provide the additional stuff if I don't know how he wants to do it.

I assume he knows how to modify it to his needs.

It's the same thing, but without margins. Wow!
