img tags are inline elements. To center them using margin:auto; you must add display:block; to your rule. You could add text-align:center; to the CONTAINER of your IMG tag instead, if you can’t / or dont want to make your image into a block element

<img> is an inline element, so can’t have margins or padding applied to it. The easiest way to centre it here would be to add text-align:center to the containing div (slogandiv)

Edit: Just beaten to it. :slight_smile: Great minds, and all that.

Thank you guys. Ill do either of em. :smiley:

It feels unnessecary to make a new thread 2 minutes after, but I ran into another problem pretty fast.

As you can see below I have a class called .meny wich is a unorderd list.
And as you can see in the styles I have made it so they are like a menu.
When I try in firefox it looks good, but in chrome and internet explorer the many looks wierd. Have a look at http://www.kwpwebdesign.se to see the problem…
