guigsy Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 hey friends.. is anyone out there familiar with designing pages in dreamweaver, using layers (as opposed to frames) and css style sheets? i need help simply getting the page (and contents) to center itself depending on the browser window... went through a couple online tutorials yesterday and still failed miserably - if anyone thinks they can help me, drop me a pm and i'll love ya forever... thanks in advance.

CyberHippie Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I'm not a dreamweaver expert, but css-wise here's what you need to do...Usually I include a main DIV which is like my main content wrapper. This needs to have a width, so whatever your design dictates, then you set the left and right margins to auto for the centering effect. So like this:.layout { width: 780px; /* or whatever your width is */ margin: 0 auto 0 auto; /* top, right, bottom, left */}That should do the trick... Although sometimes I have to add in "text-align: center;". Then all the other divs will need a text-align: left;.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 That's funny; I'm spending my day in Dreamweaver but I'm certainly not an expert. A beginner would be more accurate. I'm all excited that I finally got the whole Local Site / Remote Site thing working for a couple of sites that I maintain. Up until this point I have just been opening pages one at a time off the server itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisley Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 yeah set your width in pixels and center it... learning css is a bit of a curve but not really that much of one... use dreamweaver to slap things onto a page then your css coding experience to fine tune things to just rightand put up the pics of c towns mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 thanks all.i found this tutorial that basically said i cant do what im hoping to do... then later implied that, hey, maybe i could? :crazy: at any rate, nothing my fingers have done yet have yielded any results, so either im missing something or just generally confused.so, i scrapped it and decided to work on something even more minimalist, and im just gonna deal with the left-justification.pics of c-towns mom forthcoming.
