Hey ive just started using html to build my first website and i was wanting to know how it looked if the words, fieldsets, pictures, etc wernt backed up right aganst the edge of the screen. What would the best way to do this?
Work with tables to create the whole page or is there some special command i can use to get it to sort of center….

I would show you the site i am creating but as of yet i have not found a server upon which i can host it so i hope you understand what im talking about ?

Thanks

And you'll need to be able to see your page from the perspective of users who are quite a bit different from you in their needs and abilities. In short, you'll need both a liberal arts and an engineering education. Fortunately, web pages don't have to be built by just one person and often are better done by teams.

Very well said. I will add that each one should understand the basis of the each others' specializations. The graphic designer should know HTML in order to find the best/most economical way do display elements, The developer should know a little bit a server-side language, in order to prepare data to be submited, and so on. Not an easy job... ?

do you mean to position the elements such that they touch the screen instead of leaving a gap? if so you may try [b]<body style="padding:0px; margin:0px;">[/b]

See what I mean? ?

Probably this also, but not only this one, maybe he needs to center an elements as well. Or to padding. Or to float... That is why I indicated him to learn first CSS.

Anyway, the separation means to use rather classes, not styles
<i>
</i>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
body{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
&lt;/style&gt;

@felgallAug 08.2006 — To further separate it put it put the CSS in a separate file and link it into all of the pages rather than hard coding it in each
