Calamier Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I figured i'd post on a dif topic for this one. I'm having some trouble getting my page to center. if I just use the center tag it only moves the top section, because the rest of the pieces are on div tags. But the page needs to be centered in every resolution. Thanks for help in advance.Edit : BTW heres the site - www.rocksolidautocenter.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadPotato Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 you're using absolute positoin in each 'layer'...thats why you cant center itprobably it's a temporary solution, i guess...try to use relative values, and put all in a 'root' div, then center only this mother divhope i helped ^^by the way, nice design, congratulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skemcin Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Edit : Flawed.... lmfaoso you are still having the problem? I'm almost done for the day here at work, but I'll be online later on tonight - I'll come back to this post to see if you have an update.Keep up the good work. :)P.S. My signature is more directed to the people who come in and say:"how do I make a javascript slide show of pictures"When all you have to do is google "javascript slide show" and you'll two days of scripts to choose from.You, have obviously put some effort into your code - especially since you have live working examples - so I wouldn't say you fall into that category. However, I am happy to see that it got some creative juices flowing and sparked off another round of troubleshoot - just don't kill yourself over it - someone will help you find a solution.

aspnetguy Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 It appears that with the extensive absolute positioning you have used that it would be a lot of work to get it to center.For this reason I try and a void absolute positioning when ever posible.I always make a <div></div> and place everything inside it and then use relative positioning to the parent div. that way no matter where i move the div everything inside stays lined up properly.sorry I couldnt be much help.

Guest dompadidodadollidado Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I'm also trying to center my page. With aspnetguy's method I get the page to the center but at the top. How can I move it down to the centerpoint ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I don't think you can vertically center the page but if you add <br /> tags before the mother <div> (if you used my method) then that will bump the page down. Use as many <br /> as you need to get it down to where you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
