Centering video player

[wahidpolin]

I am using JW Player as a video player in one of my sales page but having trouble to get it centered in the page.

I have set the margin to auto but it's not working.

heres the html ->

<div id="videocontainer">
 <object id="player" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" name="player" width="328" height="200"> 
    <param name="movie" value="player.swf" /> 
    <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /> 
    <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /> 
    <param name="flashvars" value="file=video.mp4&image=preview.jpg" /> 
    <embed 
      type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
      id="player2"
      name="player2"
      src="player.swf" 
      width="328" 
      height="200"
      allowscriptaccess="always" 
      allowfullscreen="true"
      flashvars="file=video.mp4&image=preview.jpg" 
    /> 
  </object>
 </div>

I'm not the best at coding but I have something like this on my site. I think this should fix it;

<div id="videocontainer">
<center>
<object id="player" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" name="player" width="328" height="200">
<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="flashvars" value="file=video.mp4&image=preview.jpg" />
<embed
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
id="player2"
name="player2"
src="player.swf"
width="328"
height="200"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
flashvars="file=video.mp4&image=preview.jpg"
/>
</object> </center>
</div>

Visually, yes, but <center> has been deprecated for years, along with <font>. Being this is the CSS forum, how about a more correct approach:

<style type="text/css">
#videocontainer { width:328px;height:200px; margin: auto; }
</style>


You may have to fiddle with w/h depending on what the player adds for borders, etc., but that is a better approach.

Cheers rocknbil, I'm a noob too so I didn't know that approach will amend my site to use that method too
