I've Googled this and come up with 100 different ways to do it, all dating
back to 2001-2004 (why is it so hard to sort Google results by most recent?)

Anyhoo, was wondering if someone could give me the 2008 version : how do I
center a DIV? Not its contents, but the div itself.

Thanks!

margin: 0 auto;

Goggle advance search has a date/time parameter towards the bottom of
the page.

For this to work, the element (<div>) needs a declared width. Without a
width, the element remains on the left of the page.

Naturally, because <div> can't hug content like tables can. They're either
100% wide, or have a static value.

Another limitation of divs that seems unnecessary to me. Why does no width
have to mean 100% width? We accept these realities as they are but never
question them. I can't think of any good reason why divs can't hug content
the way tables do, UNLESS they're specified to be 100% wide.

I know we can pull out only results from the past day, week or month... but
I'd like to pull out ALL the results, and just have them sorted by most
recent.

For some reason, Google still cannot do this.

You're welcome.

This is not a detriment.

That's how all block tags work (<p>, <h#>, <div>, etc.).

You are tilting at windmills as a way of avoiding the truth of HTML.
