begginer: how to keep a page centered at all screen resolutions

@WebJoelFeb 28.2007 — #i have a simple webpage that I want to keep centered all the time:

the design is optimised to be viewed with resolution of 1280x but i want it to be centered if opened with lower resolutions of 1024 or 800...

i want the horizontal scolbar showing all the time but automatically centered

can anyone offer any help?[/QUOTE]
A horizontal scrollbar showing [I]and[/I] centered? I don't think this is possible... but to center something, give it a WIDTH:foo;, and add MARGIN:0 auto;

To accomodate various wider resolutions, use a percent width:

<div style="[B]WIDTH:90%; MARGIN:0 auto[/B]":>

</div>

The "width:90%;" is easu enough to understand... that is 90% of whatever resolution you/visitor are using (90% of 800px, 90% of 1024px, 90% of 1280px, etc).

MARGIN: 0 auto;" means "zero" margin-top; and "auto-adjust" whatever remains after the 90% has been filled (leaving 5% for the left and another 5% for the right).

-Rather elegant and highly useful arrangement. ?

-Note too that I wrote "0" ("zero") and didn't use "px"? -Shorthand way of writing this. For declaration's value of "zero"-anything, you can omit the suffice type of "px" or "pt" or "em" or "in" or "cm" etc., because 0 = 0 = 0 = 0 = 0, etc...
