css position from bottom AND center?

Ok, css is great for some things, but I can't figure out how to position something x pixels from the bottom and still center it (yes i've tried replacing the center tags with a div that has text-align:center)

PHP Code:


		
			
<html>

    <body>

        <div style="position:absolute; bottom:0px;">

            <center>

                <font size="1" color="#C0CCCC">

                </font>

            </center>

        </div>

    </body>

</html>

any ideas?

I could use javascript to get the page width, then (pagewidth/2)-(textwidth/2) would give me centered text...but getting the page width is unreliable most of the time...so i'd rather solve it some way closer to what i've started. thanks.

got inspiration from some picture resizing thread i saw...see, the center is centered, within the div, which is only the width of the text itself, and since i didn't give it a left that's why it pulled the the very left (normal flow). But, if i make the containing div 100% the width of the page (width:100%) then the center has room to work and will center on the page, and even grow/shrink as the page resizes.

you shouldn't use tags like font and center.
both have been deprecated, use css to control the layout.

Code:

<div style="position:absolute; bottom:0px; text-align:center; color:#c0cccc; font-size:0.8em; width:100% ">
