Countdown coding....

[J-Win]

i know this may seem simple, but i got this code from this website. I want to have the colored background centered to the page. I cant figure out how to change it. Can anyone help? Following is the link for the code i got from this site. Thanks in advanced

This is easy, just enclose the entire thing in a centered element. For example:

<div align="center">put the script and its ilayer here</div>

You could use <p align="center"></p> as well, or get even more creative and stick the thing somewhere inside a table. Just make sure that wherever you put it, you allow enough horizontal space for its width.

<div align="center">put the script and its ilayer here</div>

Just so you know, the preferred way to centre content is to set equal margins on the element:

.centred {
  margin: 0 auto;
  width: ??;
}

<div class="centred">...</div>

The align attribute and the center element are deprecated. The latter was never really very good at centring due to various interpretations of a rather vague specification. The align attribute is equally vague, which is why it too should be dropped.

See a recent discussion in Usenet.

Thanks, like the questioner in the link you supply, I too have wondered what the applicable method would be as we blithely deprecate <center> and align="center". Seems it is a work in progress, interesting though.
