Another basic CSS question. What I would like to do is to create a part of page
that contains a photo with a caption that is centered on the page, something
like this:

            -------------------------------------------
            |   some other part of the page           |
            -------------------------------------------
            |                                         |
            |       ---------------------------       |
            |       |                         |       |
            |       |                         |       |
            |       |       picture           |       |
            |       |                         |       |
            |       ---------------------------       |
            |             Caption line 1              |
            |             Caption line 2              |
            |                                         |
            -------------------------------------------
            |   some other part of the page           |
            -------------------------------------------

After some experimenting and checking the web I've come up with the following
HTML

<div id="pagecontent">
    <div id="picture">
        <img src="port.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="640" /><br />
        <p>Ett litet test</p>
    </div>
</div>

and the CSS

#pagecontent
{
    width: 480px;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

#picture img
{
    padding: 6px;
    margin: 0px;
    border: 1px solid #555;
}

#picture p
{
    padding: 0px;
    text-align: center;
}

while this works it requires that I adjust the width of pagecount. My problem is
that I want to generate these pages automatically, and while the program I use
generate height and width tags that I can use I can't do math. Which means that
if I want to have the border around the picture the centering will be slightly
off.

So I start to wonder if there is some better way of doing this that doesn't
require me to know the picture size.

                                    jem
