Is there a way to centralize an absoloute DIV?

Thanks a lot,

Yep.

<div class="container"></div>


.container {
margin: 0px auto;
}

Thanks chicgeek,

I am fairly new to all of this still so please bare with me

Is that not just one of the ways to centralise a normal DIV? The one I am trying to do is "absolute".

Please correct me if I am wrong

There are many ways. Since absolute starts from 0,0 (if you specify both left and top parameters), the most popular way people use, which is not the easiest, is to use JavaScript to get the position of elements on the page to center things or position there div to where they want.

Just to center it, you could do what chicgeek said, or just do a div inside a div, the parent div being 100% width and 60%+ height, set the z-index to the top position, if you want it to be the top-most layer of course, and then do as chicgeek said for the inner div.
