Hello.

I'm trying to make a <div>, but from what I've observed, be default, it
trys to consume the most width possible.

What 'm have trouble doing is make it take the /minmal/ space possible,
like a table without any specified width.

What I'm really getting at is I'm trying to have a simple <div> with
left aligned text but be centered on the screen.

I've tried many variants of the following:

<center>
<div style="text-align: left">
Text that should be Left aligned, but centered on the screen.
</div>
</center>


So it looks like this

| Text that should be Left aligned, but centered on |
| the screen. |

^----- screne border -------------------------------------------------^

Thanks for any help. This is really driving me up the wall, especialyl
since I've bene workign with html since 1997! arrgh! :-)
