The tutorial you've mentioned overcomplicate things a bit and uses tables for layout, which is a total no-go. However, even as a regular HTML5 defender I have to admit centering stuff in HTML/CSS in not exactly a trivial task. It's not very tough either, just not something that most of the 'newcomers' could solve in a minute. You can look up my solution here: http://garbiak.com/demos/hn/ http://garbiak.com/demos/hn/ Without seeing your code it's hard to tell what exactly gone wrong, however such huge level of browser inconsistency is indeed worrisome. Never believed HTML5 would solve these kind of issues completely but the differences shouldn't be that huge.
