Of course it's aligned left, even at 1280x1024 it's on the left. EVERYTHING is set to position: absolute.. very bad idea and because it's absolute, nothing will ever move !

Try enclosing the entire thing in a <div class="margin: auto;"> and a </div> to make it center, if that is what you want. Unless if you want to have it be the total size of the screen.

EDIT - the auto emoticon came up...

You`re not the author of that code arent you ?

What are you looking for, to center everything (which will leave a small block of white space on the left and right ?) or you wish to view it as full screen. If this the case you`ll need to rewrite some of the css.

Hi Alexey,

My collegue is designing that website.
what you are thinking is correct. He want to design a page which will leave a small block of white space on the left and right ?

Thanks,
Vinutha.

There is no way of fixing this without having to completely redesign the site. It looks like your designer was an amateur and just used Dreamweaver to use absolute positioning. Basically, this means that every element on the page is set to a certain X,Y coordinate. Even if you surrounded all of the content with a wrapper and centered the wrapper, everything would still stay in their original position because it's absolute.

I'm sorry to say but I think your colleague needs to study up on some basic web design techniques. Just looking through the source code I found a ton of poor design choices. In fact, I found a total of 56 warnings and 33 errors through my validator. I'm sorry I don't have a solution for you, but unless you want to go through the process of redesigning the page, I'd say you're stuck with what you have.

Tips:
-Don't use images for the top navigation, that doesn't make any sense to me. Why didn't you just make a text menu instead of having rollovers
-Don't use BMP's as your image format. Use GIF or JPG as they have much better compression.
-Don't use Dreamweaver to do EVERYTHING on your site. Just as any other WYSIWYG editor, it has a tendency to create "fluffy" code and extra tags. Look how many </a> tags there are.
