How do you easily horizontally center a using CSS? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Using jQuery:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".myElement").wrap( '' ); // for IE6
    $(".myElement_container_new").css({// for IE6
        "display" : "block",
        "position" : "relative",
        "margin" : "0",
        "padding" : "0",
        "border" : "none",
        "background-color" : "transparent",
        "clear" : "both",
        "text-align" : "center"
    });
    $(".myElement").css({
        "display" : "block",
        "position" : "relative",
        "max-width" : "75%", // for example
        "margin-left" : "auto",
        "margin-right" : "auto",
        "clear" : "both",
        "text-align" : "left"
    });
});

or, if you want to center every element with class ".myElement":

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".myElement").each(function() {
        $(this).wrap( '' ); // for IE6
        $(".myElement_container_new").css({// for IE6
            "display" : "block",
            "position" : "relative",
            "margin" : "0",
            "padding" : "0",
            "border" : "none",
            "background-color" : "transparent",
            "clear" : "both",
            "text-align" : "center"
        });
        $(this).css({
            "display" : "block",
            "position" : "relative",
            "max-width" : "75%",
            "margin-left" : "auto",
            "margin-right" : "auto",
            "clear" : "both",
            "text-align" : "left"
        });
    });
});
