Im having trouble centering the content of this PHP code (please find code down the bottom fo this post) on my joomla site. I added

#google_map{margin-left:140px;}

to the CSS in the hopes of centering it all but it only centered the map itself. Since then I have added the "google1" and "google2" div class tags and

#google1{margin-left:140px;}
#google2{margin-left:140px;}

to the CSS but no love there. Can anyone help me out please. Also I am a student and this is my third year project and this is probably a rteally simple question. Thankyou to anyone who can help me.

Well you have an unclosed/broken tag here on line 62 that may be causing issues

<div <!--Div class added by Damion -->

Aside from that grab firebug(http://getfirebug.com) for firefox and toy around with the CSS until you get it where you want it then just copy into your file.

Barman007,

At top of file your have

$apiWidth    = $conArr[0]->mapHeight;
$apiHeight   = $conArr[0]->mapWidth;

which looks like heigh<===>width inversion.

Then you could try:

#google_map
{
	position : relative;
	left : 50%;
	margin-left : -<?php echo $apiWidth/2; ?>px;
	width:<?php echo $apiWidth; ?>px;
	height:<?php echo $apiHeight; ?>px;
	overflow:hidden;
	clear:both;
	border:1px solid #000000;
}

This should center the map ragardless of screen size.
