I would like for the webpage below to be centered within a web browser. How can I accomplish this without compromising the look of the current page. Right now the webpage is floating to the left
Also, is there a way to accomplish this when I am putting together my css? Either way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance CODE <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="doctitle" --> <title>Untitled Document</title> <!-- TemplateEndEditable --> <link href="../style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="head" --> <!-- TemplateEndEditable --> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="header"><img src="../images/images/header.jpg" alt="header" width="955" height="161" border="0" usemap="#Map" /> <map name="Map" id="Map"> <area shape="rect" coords="172,76,794,149" href="../index.html" /> </map> </div> <div id="menubar"><img src="../images/images/images/m1.jpg" width="178" height="57" alt="m1" /><a href="../page1.html"><img src="../images/images/images/pg1.jpg" width="167" height="57" alt="pg1" /></a><a href="../page2.html"><img src="../images/images/images/pg2.jpg" width="131" height="57" alt="pg2" /></a><a href="../page3.html"><img src="../images/images/images/pg3.jpg" width="142" height="57" alt="pg3" /></a><a href="../page4.html"><img src="../images/images/images/pg4.jpg" width="155" height="57" alt="pg4" /></a><img src="../images/images/images/m2.jpg" width="180" height="57" alt="m2" /> <div id="main"> <div id="maincontent"><!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="Text" --><!-- TemplateEndEditable --></div> <div id="footer_container"><img src="../images/images/images/images/Footer.gif" width="595" height="70" alt="footer" /></div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> |

QUOTE(Darin McGrew @ May 28 2010, 11:35 AM)  Hey Darin, Thanks for the posts, but for some reason I cannot seem to get the techniques described in those articles to get the results I am looking for. Maybe I am not applying them directly? I have a body tag within my style sheet. I have tried to auto-space the margins in that....no luck getting it centered. I also have a container div...which contains all of the content of the page and I tried the saeme technique described above and still no luck.... If you look within my website code, do you see a way of which I can accomplish what I am trying to do with the existing code or is there something new that I am going to have to add? Someone told me that I could put the entire website within a table and center the table but I am unsure as of how to do this. Thanks in advance Drew |

Centering with auto margins only works if the box has a width. Maybe the boxes you try to center don't.

Can you provide the URL (address) of a document that shows your best attempt? Just pasting the HTML (as you did above) isn't really enough for us to see what you've tried.

i resolved the issue by using a width for the container and using auto margins. Thanks for the help

FYI the width doesn't need to be a fixed one. But maybe you knew that already.
