You need to set width for the div. Eg. 500px as in my example<br />

<pre><code id="code-370614">&lt;div style=&quot;position:absolute;width:100%;top:0;text-align:center&quot;&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;scaletype&quot; style=&quot;font-size:small;text-align:left;margin-top:60px;width:500px;&quot;&gt;&lt;%=scaletype%&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>
</div>
