Centering div with HTML 4.01 Transitional

[LD]

To center divs on a page, I usually use:
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
but this seems to only with HTML 1.0 transitional. Can you make it work with 4, or maybe just use 1.0 all the time or maye something else altogether....?

I had a problem centering iframes recently using the code you posted. The solution was to give the item I was trying to center a fixed width instead of a percentage.

iframes behave in strange ways sometimes for me, and I also do a fixed width usually wider than the iframe and add this:
text-align: center;
to the div's properties.

But I was referring to centering the actual div, not the content within the div. Seems to behave differently in HTML 1.0 and HTML 4.0

the <center> tag was deprecated in HTML 4.0 so try using this
<div style="text-align: center;">

Yeah it was the content within the div that I was talking about.

Despite using text-align: center; my iframe still wasn't centering. I did some Googling and found the suggestion to give my iframe a fixed width instead of a percent and it fixed it.

I still struggle with css but thought that maybe it would work with your issue too.

Just a guess but maybe
display:block;
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;

using
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

I use
<div align="center"></div>

of course you can use styling to the div tag too

It was? I can still validate pages at w3.org using it.

It has been deprecated in 4.01 transitional and frameset, take a look at the table in their own link below.

Interesting that the validator does not flag it. I've had it flag the div align="center" before. |crazy|

I haven't tested it but that looks like it should work.
