    I know of the hacky ways to center css (like the negative margin-left trick) and others, but what is the proper way?

    What position should I be using? relative?

    The hackey one is GREAT... for absolutes and fixed positioning.

    Other than that a combination of margin: 0 auto; and (for ie) a wrapper div that has text-align:center;

    Will keep everything where it should be and is a very common convention.
