Hi

I have a background image which is centered in the middle of the screen.

I require to render a bordered box on top of this image which is also centered.

margin-left : au to and margin-right:au to seem to work fine but i cant seem to get anything working on the vertical

How do i do this please

any help would really help as been trying all day to get to work and now pulling hair out.

Read the stickies - there is a topic there on centering - horizontal AND vertical

errr thnx. am bit new here though n to all this. where are the stickies on this.????

ah gotem thnx

Hi Lady n red could you help me a little further im well confused.

im looking at you css

#horizon {
	background-color: transparent;
	position: absolute;
	top: 50%;
	left: 0px;
	width: 100%;
	margin-top: -200px;
	text-align: center;
	min-width: 900px; 
}
#wrapper {
	background-color: #fff;
	position: relative;
	text-align: left;
	width: 900px;
	height: 380px;
	margin: 0px auto;
	}

But cant understand how to implement given that i want to center a image both vertically and horiontaly
thats 1010px x 639px. I basically want to then add a imagemap (which i can do) so if the user expands or decreases screen everything stays in place.

any help would be much appreciated.

actually i could probably better explain what im trying to do

i have a image that is 1010px x 639px which i require to vertically and horizontally align... my problem is that positioned over that image there are 2 buttons. I must either have the image centered and use imagemaps or lay the buttons on top of the image one way or another. In anycase what ever i try i lose either the centering of image of alignment of the image.

the user must be able to cntrl + and - the screen.

heres kinda what i want to do http://www.thebigshot.co.uk/v2/splash-new3.htm
but it isnt center aligned

cheers

Put the images as background to the body.

Yes thats easiest way to get the centering but as soon as i do that though how do i position the buttons which must stay in position if the user cntrl + or cntrl - or f11
