    I need to center the content in XHTML 1.0 Strict. Right now, this content is placed on the left side; I want to place this in the center. How can I do that?

    I've tried text-align: center but thats not working.

    This Works...

    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 <head>
  <style type="text/css">
    body
    {
      margin-top:0px;
      margin-bottom:0px;
      text-align:center;   
    }
    .main
    {
      text-align:left;
      background:Gray;
      min-height:800px;
      width:780px;
      padding:10px;
    }
  </style>
 </head>
 <body>
  <div class="main">Hello World</div>
 </body>
</html>

    Negative, that only works in IE. Try this instead:

    Code:
        <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
      <style type="text/css">
        body
        {
	margin: 0 auto;
	text-align: center;
        }

      </style>
    </head>
    <body>
Body
    </body>
    </html>
