Ok, Hi, first post so be gentle.

I have recently create and uploaded my website I created using Dreamweaver MX. At first I designed all the pages in 1024x768 resolution, not thinking about anyone elses screen resolution. When I tried to view my website on my laptop I could barely fit any of it on the screen. I notice that on many sites the web page is centred on the screen, even if you make the window smaller it alters itself to fit.

After reading through the tutorials in the help files I somehow managed to centre the page, only to have some of the text leave its layout cell. After trying to fix this the page itself became corrupted and I had to start again. Anyway, the page is now re-created, but I cannot for the life of me follow the steps I had taken before to centre my web page. You may look on www.joeandyland.com to see what I mean. Everything is over to the left. I have only altered the homepage until I am sure I can fix the rest of the site.

If anyone is confused about what I am talking about please ask me to be clearer as I really need this sorted out as soon as possible.

Thank you for reading this far, and thank you in advance for your help.

Andy.

The link you have provided is unavailable and doesn't actually show anything.

But, if you set your table width as a percentage, rather than in pixels, it should resize itself accordingly.

Thanks for the speedy reply, but I am still having problems. I've activated the site so you can take a lot now to see what I mean. Some sites like www.caligari.com sow perfectly what I am trying to describe. If you restore down your internet explorer then make the window horizontally smaller the website remains in the centre of the screen. I have created mine using Layout cells rather than tables, so I am unsure of what I need to do. First I managed to centre the page using a CSS style I created, but for some reason I cannot make it do it again. The websites which I presume you have createds suit the page very well, but they do not automatically centre themselves in the views screen as the Caligari one does, and what I wish mine to do.

Sorry if I wasn't clear... or if I was and I just didn't understand what you meant

Like I said, new to this

Cheat. Use HTML 4 tags. Just wrap the content in div tags that have align=center for the attribute. In other words, like this:

<div align="center">
tables, text, images, whatever you want centered
</div>

Of course, if "using Layout cells rather than tables" means that you have used absolutely-positioned DIVs, then you'll have to undo all of that before the centering will work. Also, if you're determined to use CSS to center it, there is only 1 real way to do it, and I think only Mozila, Opera, and the very latest IE (SP2) support it, so most people on old versions of IE won't see it. It's like this:

body {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

Fantastic, thanks for your help guys, you've been really... helpful

Andy.

all you have to do is put your content in a table, and center the table. as in
<table align="center">
