Hi there,

I've been trying to find a simple solution to this issue.

I designed a site with Netobjects Fusion using CSS and Dynmaic Page Layout setting. It views perfectly in IE. In Firefox the background image centers to the webpage but none of my text objects do. The are flush left.

You can see what I mean by visiting this page

Any suggestions woud be greatly appreciated.

What's wrong with the code? It was automaticly created by Netobjects Fusion.

Well, for one thing you need to validate your code.
You have this:

Quote:
<P STYLE="text-align: left;"><SPAN STYLE="font-family: 'Bauhaus 93', fantasy; font-size: xx-large; color: rgb(0,255,0);">Email: <A STYLE="color: rgb(0,255,0); text-decoration: none ; background-image: none;" HREF="mailto:U.promotionsCT@gmail.com">U.promotion sCT@gmail.com</A></SPAN></P>
and you have it inside a <ul>. You cannot have <p> inside of UL, a UL is an Unordered LIST, which means it should contain <li></li> items.
That <p> is styled as left aligned, so it's doing just what you told it to do.

Your main table (yech!) is NOT centered over the bg image you've used.

<p> is a PARAGRAPH, and I think you know what that is. Text belongs in paragraphs on a web site just as you would in any document.

Other things wrong with that - few people are going to have Bauhaus as a font on their machines, so they'll see some other font that the browser substitutes. It's best to stick with the basic fonts that ARE supported on 99% of all machines.

See, that mess of code is exactly why WYSIWYG programs should not be used in pure WYSIWYG mode. Your page could be done so easily and simply without tables, with CSS for layout and styling, and probably be 1/2 the weight it is now.
