Book Flip Javascript
I am working on a book flip script. Does anyone know how to center it on a web page? The full script for this book is below:

Try this:
<p align="center">
<div id="Book" style="position:relative" align="center">
<img src="placeholder.gif" width="144" height="227">
</div>
</p>

Warning: Please include a link to the DD script in question in your post. See this thread for the proper posting format for asking a question.
Or if that doesn't work, a fail safe way to center DHTML scripts is to create a 3 column table, and place the script in the center column.

I understand what you mean, ddadmin. Thanks for the warning. 
Cr3ative, thanks for your help. I haven't gotten a chance to try the center attribute yet, but I will.

Book Flip
I am using Netobjects Fusion to do this code. For some reason it is not centering. Can someone tell me why, by looking at this script?
This code needs to go somewhere in the script. I am not sure which place to put it. I tried both places. At the top of page is a section to insert, but at the very bottom where you aren't supposed to Edit the script, is the same div code. Why is div id at the top and bottom?
<p align="center">
<div id="Book" style="position:relative" align="center">
<img src="placeholder.gif" width="144" height="227">
</div>
</p>
Ok, this is the entire code I am putting in for this book flip:
