Is it a good idea to align to center a site with CSS like this?
I have seen a tutorial on youtube which centers a site by giving margin: 0px auto; and by saying the actual width of the site:
body
{
align:center;
margin: 0px auto;
width: 1000px;
}
But this does not work for ie8. IS this a good idea to use in order to align to center the l开发者_开发技巧ayout?
It works in IE6 and newer providing the browser is in standards mode. Trigger it with a Doctype such as:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Since the alternative is quirks mode, and that creates many inconsistances with other browsers, standards mode is highly desirable.
So, yes that is a good method to centre things.
align:center;
That, on the other hand, is nonsense. There is no align
property in CSS.
I have found the problem why this style and many other styles was not working for for ie8 (only for this browser). The problem is that I wrote
<html>
<head>
<title>About us</title>
<link href="css/about.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
.......
Now I have changed it to:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>About us</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<link href="css/about.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
