    HTML question

    I really don't know why the text "Welcome to my website" is not
    displaying at center of my webpage in MS brower. But it displays
    OK at the center of the webpage in Netscape.
    Can anyone help to fix it. Thank you very much!

    Code:
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    
    <style>
      body { background:silver; font-family:Arrus BT,Garamond,Times New Roman; }
      div { position:absolute; }
    </style>
    
    <TITLE>My homepage</TITLE></HEAD>
    
    <BODY>
    <style>
      .shade1 { top:+5; left:+5; color:gray; }
      .fill1 { top:0; left:0; color:blue; }
    </style>
     <div class=Example1>
         <div class="shade1">
         <center><h1>Welcome to my website</h1></center>
         </div>
         <div class="fill1">
         <center><h1>Welcome to my website</h1></center>
         </div>
    
     </div>
    
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    <div align="center">

    >div { position:absolute;}
    >.shade1 { top:+5; left:+5; color:gray; }
    Looks like you are telling it where to go?

    But then I found this. I tried their sample code on IE6 latest version and the box was left aligned, but on Mozilla it was central.

    Hope this helps.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    Another tag is <center>, but it was developed by Microsoft for the Internet Explorer and is not a standard of HTML 4.01

    Go to:
