How do I center my page if I built it with layers? HELP!

Postby amanda » Mon 02 Jan, 2006 4:24 pm

Hello,

I am trying to figure out a way to center my pages rather than having the contents aligned to the left. I can center the images with the align tool, but cannot apply that to the layers in my design.

Any ideas how to do this???
The code for the home page is below:

In short,
Use JavaScript to get the window width, and do some math. You can position the Layer in the centre.

Postby amanda » Wed 04 Jan, 2006 9:31 am

Is there a way to apply a global centering to my entire page code? I'm sorry I am seriously striking out here :o

Amanda,

I don't know if Dreamweaver can do the auto centring for you.

But if you are not familiar with JavaScript, I'd suggest you set the layer position and size to some reasonable values.
