Ingolme Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Which part of the page isn't centered? #logo, for example, has position:fixed, so that would prevent it from being centered. I'm not sure what this is supposed to do: The second width rule overrides the first one. header{ background-color:#FFF; width:100%; width:600px; nav has "position:fixed;" as well so I can't predict how that's going to behave, but it most likely won't be centered in any way. Remove all your position:fixed declarations, and try to make your CSS rules coherent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enimy6 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Okay, so I've figured out the problem, because of of 'fixed' my entire 'container' gets dragged to the side, (like this: http://oi41.tinypic.com/2lnwx0.jpg) getting rid of 'position:fixed' would get rid of the problem, but I want the left side of the website to 'not-move' and the right side to move when the user scrolls through the content.., how would I do this without using 'fixed'? and with 'center' the webpage I mean, have whitespace on both left and right, the code 'margin-left:auto;' and right, should take care of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadien Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 then you want to separate the page into 2 divs. the 1st div will have the nav and will have, say width:25%, height:100%, and position:fixed, the 2nd div will have all the rest of the stuff on the page and will have width: 75%, position:relative, and left:25%. then you can use margins and stuff inside that div to center and align content for the right section of the page.
