Hello all, a friend has asked me to put a basic webpage as his frontpage. I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to this, and think I'm overlooking something.

The page looks fine in 1024x768 resolution. But anything higher the page goes off centre.

Could somebody point me in the right direction so it appear in the center of a page regardless of resolution. Many thanks.

***Sorry but the website name is a bit sweary***
The filter removes the word, so please insert the "i" instead of a "1" in the URL.
Sorry if any offence is caused.

Your site doesn't seem to be working but I normally have my site in a table and center it with css

use something like:

table#id{
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}

Tables.. PLEASE - tables are and were meant for DATA, NOT layout. Learn to use CSS for layout and step into the 21st century

What do we do when CSS is not available to us?

for example... hand coding layout within a blogger widget?
the only way to edit the CSS is to alter the blogspot template which leads to myriad problems.

I've been blogging with a CMS so long I've forgotten how to code by hand.
Is there anything wrong with using tables to center or align in this context?

I'm not a blogger, so I can't accurately answer that question, but css should be available, even to blogger users. Centering something or affecting changes shouldn't change the entire blogger environment if you specify the css correctly.

If you're forced to use tables, then I guess you're stuck with them.

Maybe it's time to step up to something like Wordpress, which you can customize all you want

Seek for more html and css tips that will help you to make your site very accurate to what you are wishing for. Try also to start making from a lower resolution such 800x600 'coz it is the best resolution in starting to build a site.

CSS may be better than html tags..

But I am wondering if there is a way to find out the screen resolution of the user and then use javascript to alter the location accordingly?

You'd need javascript for browser-sniffing like that and it's not really necessary.

CSS will do you no good w/o first learning HTML.

LocalGoogleGuru if you use inline CSS it takes precedence over external CSS.

Also explain to me why it is so bad and terrible to use tables for layout. When I first started web design the best thing for layout was tables.

For use in an .Net repeater or menu structures or anything that needs a clearly defined flow, I think tables are much easier to read as the structure is right there for you to see. If you do pure CSS layout you are constantly needing to switch between the html (.aspx, .php) page and the stylesheet.

Readiblity of the code for a page is in some cases more important than having Google be able to index it easier (as this is what I'm told from pure CSS layout).
