Ok, I have the following HTML:
<div id="header">
<div id="header_inner">
<div id="header_image">
<a href=""><img src="..."/></a>
</div>
<div id="header_content">
<h1 id="header_content_h1">Dynamic Content</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And I want to center the div with id header_inner
.
But my issue is that the div with id header_content
contains dynamic content, so it can be any width.
Currently I solve this by setting the width of header_inner
using Javascript at window.onload
and the normal css for centering div's (margin:auto;
), but this causes the content to load initially on the left of the page and then jump to the center after a few milliseconds. The jump is very noticeable on the live website.

*The jump doesn't show up in the JSFiddle, but it does on the live site; this is just to show you how I'm doing it in action!
So any ideas for alternative solutions that would avoid this jump? I mean I'm guessing this is a common situation.
You can use display:inline-block
on header-inner
and text-align:center
on header
.
#header {
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
#header_inner {
display:inline-block;
}
