DIV positioning

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've got a div with a colored background and a fixed width and I'm trying to get it centered on the page. However the align property in the div tag doesn't work if I'm using an ID. I've gotten the alignment to work with nesting but then the width of the box gets disregarded. Basically what I want is, say, a 200px wide box with an ID centered on the screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope I've explained this well enough for someone to understand what I'm asking

I believe this text answers your question. Let me know if it doesn't.

you can also use...............
<div id="id" style="position:absolute; width:200px; height:24px; z-index:1;
<p>
your text
</p>
</div>

this will allow you to position your div anywhere on your page that you like.
