Centering a title?

Hi all - trying to center some text in a wrapper of width 900px

.name {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
width: 900px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-left: 0px;
font-family: impact; 
font-size: 2.5em;
font-weight: bold;
color: #DD6E05;
}

Code (markup):

Not working - any ideas please?

 

add

text-align: center;

Code (markup):

 

Worked a charm - thanks buddy

 

thanks for....

 

I suppose you were wondering why this part didn't work:

width: 900px;
margin: 0 auto;

Code (markup):

The answer is, because you absolutely positioned it. Give that thing a border, and you will see, if its container is wider than 900px, the header itself isn't centered, but the text inside it is.
