This might be a stupid question, but here goes:
I have a div. I can set a width on that div and set margin: 0 auto; and have
the thing centered horizontally.
If I instead set a height on the same div, and then set margin: auto 0; it
does not center horizontally.
Why? why why why?
Would the block center vertically if the containing block had a declared
height, or does that not matter either?
People are increasingly asking me to center things, or make the page
flexible/collapsible, etc, but aren't using any of the kinds of designs that
lend themselves to such things, and I'm not in a position to push back,
unfortunately.
Thoughts?
