On our company website (http://www.healthcomplex.biz), I had downloaded some code for our navigation bar a while back. For some reason, I can't adjust the code to center the bar (it positions to the left.) Any feedback in centering this bar would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Shriekhoe

You forgot to place a "</center>" at the end of your javascript -- it's also wise to place your CSS in a separate file and get rid of your tables ... while you're at it, you need a mandatory <!DOCTYPE Declaration> at the beginning of your HTML, and correct the following code warnings:

Thanks for your reply! I tried placing a "</center>" at the end of the JAVA, but it didn't help. I'm trying to shift the entire bar to the center. I have the text centered OK, but the absolute positioning of the bar is what's giving me a problem.

Thanks again, Shriekhoe

You don't have any absolute positioning in your CSS code at all and you haven't placed the end tag on your javascript yet -- here's what I'm talking about, and I've bolded it for you:

but the absolute positioning of the bar is what's giving me a problem.

Well.. duuuhhh...

Wrap the menu elements in a floated div set to margin: 0 auto; and the thing should center. Position absolute means exactly what it says- absolutely stays where you tell it.

Beyond that.. that is one horrible mess of 1995 code going on there !

LOL - that was my next step; shoulda seen how fast I jumped back when I looked at all of that code!

Thanks for the feedback, I'm an amateur web desigener for sure trying to get our company online!

Most of my page is constructed with copy/past codes. Not sure how to get that absolute center into the CSS code? Which code is worse, the entire page, or the nav bar?

Thanks again for the feedback!

Quite frankly, the entire thing is a fright. Tables, <font> tags, <center> tags, ugh. The background tiling is terrible. All that javascript is not going to help you with the search engines either. I see you're using Adobe PageMill.. no wonder your code is a mess.

Your page is just a linear scroll.. reminiscent of sites from 10 years ago.

Might I suggest choosing a non-tables-based layout, and actually presenting your products in a much nicer and friendlier format. You can find some basic template layouts here:

All free.. no graphics, just nice clean code. Choose a layout format and add your content.

Thanks for the link, looks like my whole site is in need of revamping! I will look into using one of those templates.

Until I have it ready to switch over, can you provide any direction for adjusting the nav bar to the center? I wasn't sure where to enter the "wrap"? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I really can't, that whole thing is generated in the javascript !
