Just out of interest, why did you need a div?
because he wanted the list centered but aligned, ie, he wanted the list centered somewhere in the middle but still aligned with each other... a div is just the easiest way of doing it, containing the list within a narrower div, centering the div then left aligning it is the easiest way.... :-/

Couldn't you center the ol, and setting the text-align to left?
Nothing much, but you should always work for as little markup as is necessary ;)
Then he would have to use an inline style, but Mozilla doesn't support all the CSS in inline tags... I've had problems with diffrent objects. But I think that a div would be the best thing. Not an line style.

lol... we've got all the html freaks going on about compatability... Nitro just means that using the method Plik said might not show properly on some browsers... so if someone with Firefox waned to view your page it might not display properly.. :P </explanation>

Even though you have IE doesn't mean that the visitor will have IE. IE does not support web standards. Mozilla supports it, but Opera is best there, 'cause it even passes the Acid 2 test.
Always think about how it will be for your visitors. :)

I've never had issues with positioning ul's and ol's the same way you would a div, because they are both block level. The only issue is that lists generally have padding and margins by default, which cause issues if you don't expect it.

Oh, well, I was trixing with inline style using the p tag, and firefox wouldnt' color my text, it wouldn't add the font either. And I didn't understand, but I kept on working with it. The site that I were doing tthe code, was a profile site, a norwegian service. In IE and Opera the site looked excatly as It should. I didn't want to use <font> tag, I don't like it. (:P) So I used the inline style, as I said, and the text looked not as it should, in Mozilla (I mean firefox).

:) That's what I meant.
