Hi!

I have a problem. There is a folder, with "background.html" file. How I can put to the center the content? I have no idea...

Thank!

background.html being what kind of file? An image, or html file? If it's an HTML file you just want included, you could use SHTML include statements.

Just remember, the including file must be .shtml, not .html.

Put

<!--#include file="background.html" -->

where you want the file.

Must be time for a name change to "The Psychic Web Experts" with questions like this one and this

To center the content just use <center> content </center>

Fairly simple HTML work here.

Except for one thing: <center> has been deprecated for several years. Let's not teach pre 2005 code here.

The way to do it now is through CSS, by specifying margin: 0 auto; on the body or a wrapper div. Not an HTML question.

Also, the OP specified centering a file, which presupposes an include, also not an HTML question.

And we still haven't heard back from that OP to get what the specific question is, much less a link to a site or any code. It's really hard to debug vague concepts.

But I suppose you'd have to read the thread first like I did to know all that.

Yes I agree the best way to do the centering is through CSS but I feel like the OP does not truly understand the HTML language so CSS is truly going to be more difficult for him. The simple HTML code is probably a good stepping stone snippet for him.

Teaching someone who doesn't know CSS how to use code that has been deprecated for over TEN YEARS does them no favours at all.

What is the point in showing them something that is of no use to them at all when going forwards into CSS?
