centering, style="text-align:center;" not working Options

[pcfw]

I used <div style="text-align;">script</div> to try to center Amazon car parts finder at
<a href="http://automotivetipstricks.blogspot.com/">Automotive Tips and Tricks</a>

but the parts finder is only centered when viewed with IE but not with Firefox and Chrome. What tag should I use to center the widget?

Thanks

For centering see: http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/center.html . IE wrongly lets text-align affect block level elements when it's in Quirks Mode. That's what I predict is the problem here. Or you actually wrote what you wrote in your post above, but then again it wouldn't work in anything.

Dang - Blogger splog robot giving false positive again. But nevermind, it is a demo blog

Can I use

<div style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">widget to be centered</div>

Yes, that's the right way to do it. But MSIE doesn't support it in quirks mode; it supports it only in standards mode.
