HTML - **need Help Centering Website**
Hello,
I wont call myself a website designer, but I do design my own websites. My problem is my website is only centered when monitor setting is at 1024 x 768. If an outside viewer with different monitor settings views my sites it will be really off-centered. I design all my websites in photoshop then code them with macromedia. Is their a code I could include into the html to keep my webpages centered no matter what size screen is viewing? Would appreciate any comments, JJ Similar TutorialsHi, Have just uploaded a new website. In Safari, Opera and Firefox the webpage floats in the middle of the browser page, as I want it to. In some versions of IE its sits to the far left. Here is the page: http://www.ironworksstudio.co.uk/ And here is the CSS: Code: *{ margin: 0; padding: 0; } body{ font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: #000000; background-color:#000000; } #container { margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-top: 15px; width: 700px; background-color:#000000; } p{ padding-top: 10px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; } #header { margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 0; height: 100px; width:700px; background-color:#000000; padding: 0 0 10px 0; } #menu ul{ margin-left:0; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color:#FFFFFF; } #menu li{ text-align: center; text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff; background-color: #000000; list-style-type: none; width: 84px; height: 20px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom; 3px; margin-right: 2px; margin-left: 2px; float: left; border: 1px solid; } #menu li:hover { color: #ffffff; background-color: #333333; } #menu li a { text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff; } #menu li a:hover { color: #ffffff; } #footer { font-size:12px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; width: 700px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; clear: both; background-color:#000; color: #FFF; } #top_image { margin-bottom:20px; clear: left; background-color:#000000; } #menu { float: left; width: 700px; margin-bottom:10px; background-color:#000000; } #two_column { font-size:12px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height:1.4; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 50px; float: left; width: 700px; text-align: left; background-color:#000; } #l_column { font-size:12px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color:#FFF; line-height:1.4; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 30px; margin-bottom: 50px; float: left; width: 335px; text-align: left; background-color:#000; } #l_column a{color:999999;} #r_column { font-size:12px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color:#fff; line-height:1.4; margin-top: 23px; float: right; width: 335px; background-color:#000; padding: 0 0 10px 0; } .left { font-size:12px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; width: 335px; float: left; text-align: left; border: 2px solid #000000; border-collapse: collapse; background-color:#000000; } .right { font-size:12px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; width: 335px; float: right; text-align: left; border: 2px solid #000000; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top:12px; background-color:#000000; } th { font-weight: bold; font-size:13px; color: #000000; background-color:#FFFFFF; padding: 5px; } td { padding:5px; } tr { color:#FFFFFF; } .rowstyle1 { border-bottom:1px dotted; } #gallery { background-color:#000; width: 680px; padding-left: 0; } #gallery ul { list-style: none; margin-left: 0; } #gallery li { padding-left:1.2px; } #gallery ul li { display: inline; padding-right: 0; } #gallery ul img { border: 0; border-width: 0; } #gallery ul a:hover img { border: 0 solid; } #gallery ul a:hover { color: #cccccc; } hr {color:#333333; border-style:normal; padding: 0 0 0 0; margin: 0 0 10 0; } h2 {color:#ffffff;} </style> Here is the code i have for the only(and first) page of the website.

Thanks hello there can someone please give some advice / fixes for centering my website in IE and Chrome etc I programmed it in Dreamweaver and previewed it in Safari and Firefox where it looks lovely and central, however people have told me that in IE it is centered to the left. I can't figure out how to fix it. http://www.formconstant.co.uk any help would be greatly appreciated john Hi. I don't know how to center my website, so it works in all browsers. Take a look he www.AURecords.com It only works on computers with a high screen resolution. Any suggestions? Christian Hi. First off I'm new to this forum so Hello! I wanted to know how to make sure my websites 'float' in the middle of the screen, like this for example http://www.richardjohntaylor.com/billymurray i.e. whatever size the window, the image always remains centred. The website above is only a single image. How would I do it with my other sites, which are tables making up many images, eg. http://www.terrystone.biz or http://www.trconsultants.co.uk I edit using Dreamweaver. Thanks Richard Hi, I am building a website and would like to make it liquid. The website address is: http://www.cse.dmu.ac.uk/~p04283218/mainframe9/ Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I would do this please. Thanks. I have some links (in the header, the SUPPORTERS) to different websites, but when I click on them the address in the address bar does not change to the address of the website that I clicked. How do I make it show the address that I clicked on? Thanks. http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~fencing/ I am a total noob but volunteered to administrate the website, because there was no one else to do it. hello, i need a website for german customers, somethign like www.podmod.de because i would like to offer the same. So if anyone has an idea where to start, or even can offer me something i can buy, please do so. my email: verenamueller999@web.de thanks verena. Hi, I am trying to find a way in which a website that is linked on my homepage can be opened while keeping at least one form of my homepage open as well. e.g.: Google images :http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...en-us%26sa%3DG sorry for the massive link. Hope you get the idea. So what i want is to have a bar on top that is my homepage (like the google bar in the link), but the rest is the actual website that has been linked. I don't really care much about the url. It doesn't have to be my homepage url, it can be the actual website url. Google has been able to do that somehow, so it is possible. I would just like to know how and if it is hard to do. If someone knows how to do it, it would be great if you could give me a link to a tutorial, or explain it. thanks Hi How to add a website counter to my website.

Site: http://blog.camhabib.com Hi, I'm trying to develop a fluid layout for a webpage - and I have two 50% <divs> that have images in them, and the width of these <divs> add to 100% of course. So from my resolution and slightly smaller ones it looks like they are centered. However, when I scale the browser down to a smaller size, they get squished together because they float left. How can I make it so one falls below the other and they become centered on the page at the same time? Cheers...

Hi, I'm new to the site and I'm just here to ask a question. I've been having trouble with my webpage trying to center everything. The problem is that at home my webpage is centered (When you zoom out everything stays centered) but as for school I zoom out and everything stays to the left and I'm pretty sure I left all the code the same from computer to computer. I don't think it is the resolution because I had changed my resolution to the same as at school.
