    is that what you're trying to do? just remove the width when yes, it's just there to show that the text is in the center

    No. What I'm trying to do is making 'div' (auto-width) is centered at specified location. For example, 'div' is centered at 200px from left-most of parent element.

    Do you mean a tab stop as in a default left margin for each div?

    You could do this with css:

    

.tabbed{

    margin-left: 200px;

}
    Code (markup):
    Which would give a 200px margin on the left of each div with the class "tabbed".

    No. You mean left tab stop but what I need is centered tab stop. Some thing like centered tab stop in word.
