I'm not so good at web design, it might be hard to explain since i don't have ascreen shot of what i want it to look like.
okay lets say i have a store
| this is the middle |
| of the site |
|>>>>>>>>>>>nav |
|>> pic| other >nav |
| >>>>>>>>>> nav |
| >>>>>>>>>>>> |
|>>>>>>>>>>>>>|
| >>>>>>>>>>>> |
| >>>>>>>>>>>> |

i want it aligned so its in the middle with the pictures and words and whatever and the left and right is the background which repeats
i know theres a code for it i used it before but i forgot what it was, but anyways another important part i want in it that the navagation images are at the right side in the middle of the site where it says pic on the left i want one of the zoom in things for the store where you click it and it zooms in and it shows the 'other' picture right next to it on the right (ive seen it before on angie hearts)

sorry about the picture and everything i know its nerdy but at least im not speaking l33t and sorry if the descriptions vague to you, its not to me.

i use to be good at html and css but i stopped working at it and forgot how to do most of the codes i knew before..

Sorry, but don't follow.

Well.. Most of it you should because I want my site aligned and most web designers think its the easiest thing to make a page aligned I just want it straight like one block and then on the sides they're are pictures repeated, like on myspace they give you codes, I see you don't do myspace but anyways many people get the codes there but just go on angie hearts and look at where they have the clothes and click zoom I want a code to do that on my website along with help aligning a layout, I can try to do it myself but I am packed with work that's why I asked for help here.. Sorry if I type too long but its just details,details D:

Hi did you sort out the text in the CENTER, or LEFT, or RIGHT. if not here is some codes


align=center valign=top

align=center valign=middle

align=center valign=bottom

<h4 align="center">

put them at the beginning of the text you want to put in the CENTER ok let me know if it works if not try this one.
Good Luck......Susan

I suppose, if I understand you correctly, you're looking to center the entire page content as one block in the middle of the browser window.
See http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=CenteringBlockElement
If the middle block then is smaller than the browser window, you can see a background image which you repeat vertically.

Putting pictures on the left or right within that middle part can be achieved with the CSS float property.
See http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=AlignLeftAndRight

The image zoom you have seen at angie hearts is done with javascript, hence their vzoom.js file. Maybe something more simple will already be enough for you.
