I nice way to center stuff is to use the "margin:auto" css tag. This works in FF and Safari. Just give a div some width and a margin auto, and if the parent is 100% width, then this div will center align itself.

For this to work in IE, you have to use the text-align:center attribute on the parent and then text-align left on the actual centred div.

AFAIK, there is no way to change the absolute co-ordinates from 0,0 to some other arbit point. Relative is the way to go.
