Im working with a XHTML 1.0 Transitional doctype html file, and I want to have a main div with 800px width and make it appears centered (not the div content, but the div itself).
I've used this on the past:
<!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></title>
<style>
<!--
html, body { margin:0; padding:0; }
#main-container { background:black; width:800px; }
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<div id="main-container">
Content
</div>
</center>
</body>
</html>
But I am not sure if this is cross-browser compatible, or if its valid xhtml.
