Home is where the ~/.bashrc is

This did not work.

Following their suggestions to put

HTML:

style="margin-left: auto; text-align:center; margin-right: auto;"

with the div control, did not center anything.

I even tried it in a number of places and it still did not center the control:

HTML:

<body><center>
    <form id="form1" runat="server" style="height:100%; margin-left: auto; text-align:center; margin-right: auto;">
    <center>
    <div id="silverlightControlHost" style="margin-left: auto; text-align:center; margin-right: auto;">
        <object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%" style="margin-left: auto; text-align:center; margin-right: auto;">
		  <param name="source" value="Bin/Debug/SilverlightApplicationThree.xap"/>
		  <param name="onError" value="onSilverlightError" />
		  <param name="background" value="white" />
		  <param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="4.0.50826.0" />
		  <param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
		  <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=149156&v=4.0.50826.0" style="text-decoration:none">
 			  <img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=161376" alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style:none"/>
		  </a>
	    </object><iframe id="_sl_historyFrame" style="visibility:hidden;height:0px;width:0px;border:0px"></iframe>
        </div>
        </center>
    </form>
    </center>
</body>

Actually, it's quite simple.
<center><div style="text-align:left;">This text will appear in the center of
the page</div></center>.

div.sample { text-align:left; border:2px solid black; width:100px;
height:100px;}

<center><div class="sample">This is a sample centered
division</div></center>

I tried this and it did nothing.

margin:30%;
padding:30%;

for css that would be "text-align:" not "align".
Which also places any text in the same justification.
So if you use text-align for the container, then use it to readjust your
inner divisions accordingly.

Also search for "centering divisions on page".

This made my control disappear !! THe worst advice so far:

<

Code:

body><center>
    <form id="form1" runat="server" style="height:100%; margin-left: auto; text-align:center; margin-right: auto;">
    <center>
    <div id="silverlightControlHost" style="margin-left: auto; text-align:center; margin-right: auto;">
        <object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%" style="margin-left: auto; text-align:center; margin-right: auto;">
		  <param name="source" value="Bin/Debug/SilverlightApplicationThree.xap"/>
		  <param name="onError" value="onSilverlightError" />
		  <param name="background" value="white" />
		  <param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="4.0.50826.0" />
		  <param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
		  <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=149156&v=4.0.50826.0" style="text-decoration:none">
 			  <img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=161376" alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style:none"/>
		  </a>
	    </object><iframe id="_sl_historyFrame" style="visibility:hidden;height:0px;width:0px;border:0px"></iframe>
        </div>
        </center>
    </form>
    </center>
</body>
