Can I dynamically ensure that the content always remains centered in the window pane on this website?

Right now it uses a static margin-left on the .items class, and it uses jquery tools.

Can I do it in just CSS or CSS and Javascript?

Thanks,

I didn't quite see what part you were talking about as it looks like most of it works just fine.

For auto-centering, you should use auto for margins:

margin: 0 auto;

Put that one whatever div you want centered.

Lets say that you want to center a container with 900px wide, the most cross browser way that I've used is:

div#container{
  width:900px;
  position:relative;
  left:50%;
  margin-left:-450px;
}

This goes to the center of the x axis and stays there regardless of other elements of that page! Of course that this only works with a fixed width and not a dynamic one!

If i remember correctly, you have to use the following in IE

text-align: center;

Even to center a div
