You can center a fixed or absolute positioned element setting right and left to 0, and then margin-left & margin-right to auto as if you were centering a static positioned element.
#example {
position: fixed;
/* center the element */
right: 0;
left: 0;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
/* give it dimensions */
min-height: 10em;
width: 90%;
}
