Position:absolute and centering Options

[GunsNRachel]

I know when you have position: absolute and you put left: 50% it's supposed to center what you want to center.. but mine isn't? I'm confused. It puts it to the right instead of center.

Here's the code:

CODE

.heading{
width:700;
height:300;
background-color:ffffff;
border:0px;
border-color:000000;
border-style:solid;
position:absolute;
left:50%;
font-family:;
color:;
font-weight:normal;
font-size:;
letter-spacing:;}

Not sure if this will help, as I am new, but you could add this

CODE

top:0%;

If that does not work, I sometims will use

CODE

margin-left:XXXX;_margin-left:XXXX;
         margin-top:XXXX;_margin-top:XXXX;

This may work it may not, but I usually try these options first. Hope it at least helps a little.

Read what schizo wrote below, I missed the lack of "px" on your width and height.
