Please take a look at that picture, and notice how the div is aligned to the left.

This is the CSS I'm using to try to make the div centered.

Code:

body{
background-color:#dddddd;
padding:10px;
text-align:center;
}




And THIS is my full code.

Why is that div not centered?

Thanks in advance Smile

Code:
p.text:first-letter{font-family:old english text mt; font-size:2.5em; color:#3357A4;float:left}


I am not sure, but p style have definition float:left; and in this situation if is your text between <p> and </p> this style have priority.

Your problem is that the text-align property does just that, it only aligns text. Internet Explorer may fool with it and align other things too, but Firefox definitely only aligns text. I found a trick to align other elements in Firefox by using the margin property:
Code:
a{margin:auto}

This should effectively center your image, making the margin fill the rest of the space. Hope this is helpful.
