Center Align on a Absolutely Positioned Div

Question

div#thing {   position: absolute;   top: 0px;   z-index: 2;   margin: 0 auto; }  <div id="thing">    <p>text text text with no fixed size, variable font</p> </div> 

The div is at the top, but I can't center it with <center> or margin: 0 auto;

Answer 1

Your problem may be solved if you give your div a fixed width, as follows:

div#thing {     position: absolute;     top: 0px;     z-index: 2;     width:400px;     margin-left:-200px;     left:50%; }
