I had same problem using dream weaver 8.2//// I finished the page using only layers, and page was oh on laptop because of screen width,,,,I figured out when viewed on a ps that had 800x600 resolution half side had to be scl
rolled both horizontally and vertically,,,, I then used the ruler guides to keep stuff in between zero and 8 inches ,,,,,, next problem was centering.....

Try this... it's a quick fix, but it should work without too much code changing.

Immediately under the <body> tag, add the following two lines of code:

HTML Code:
<div style="width:100%"> <!-- create container div --> <div style="position:relative; width:950px; margin:0 auto;"> <!-- center inner div within the container div -->
Then, immediately before the </body> tag you need to close the two divs created above with:
HTML Code:
</div> <!-- close div.inner --></div> <!-- close div.container -->
That should work for ya... I had to add this centering on each page

You don't need a outer "container" and a fixed size, centred one.

Just a sized container inside the body. This you can set to suit the browser width your site users are most likely to be using.
