CSS, CENTERED element over Google Maps - css

Question

I have a GoogleMaps on my website.
My problem is CSS, how to do a CENTERED div that is positioned over Google Maps?
<div style="position:relative">
<div style="width:300px; height:300px" id="map_localization"></div>
<div style="position:absolute; width:100px; margin:0px auto;">CENTERED</div>
</div>
This is what almost works for me, but need to put the CENTERED layer OVER the map

Answer 1

Can you reveal some code?
I would do it by putting both the map and the div to be centered within a relative positioned div. Then I would absolute position both the map and the div inside.
I would center the div inside with absolute positioning: http://www.zachgraeve.com/2006/10/01/center-abosulte-position-div/
Specifically, the CSS of the div to be centered would look something like this.
#divToBeCentered {
width: 200px;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -100px;
}
Update
Actually, this fiddle I made illustrates what I meant by putting both the map and another div in a containing div:

Here's the HTML (similar to what you had).
<div id="containerForAll">
<div id="map_localization"></div>
<div id="divToBeCentered">CENTERED</div>
</div>​
and the CSS.
#containerForAll, #map_localization, #divToBeCentered {
border: 1px solid #000;
}
#containerForAll {
position: relative;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
}
#map_localization, #divToBeCentered {
position: absolute;
}
#map_localization {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
#divToBeCentered {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin-left: -50px;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -50px;
}
​This centers the inner div above your map via absolute positioning.
