hey, you're right, thanks.
this works a lot better,
<div id="abc" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width:
800px;">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("abc").style.left =
Math.max(0,(document.body.clientWidth - 800)/2) + "px";
</script>
....

dude, it looks the same.
when you watch tv, you don't expect things
to get larger or smaller by pushing a button, you purchase bigger
hardware to solve the problem, or you sit closer or farther away.
so who got the crazy idea that web pages should do all that?
