How to set the page when it is expanded?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I am currently just messing around in my notepad and trying different things out. I was creating the page without the whole page expanded and when I did expand it all of the things on the page stayed to the left. So my question is what do I need to do to have everything centered again when someone expands the page? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

@smyhreJan 17.2008 — Well some code would really be nice to see, but generally the way I center things in that situation is have a division around all the content you want centered and have the {margin: 0 auto 0 auto} that should center it.

Similar to below:
[code=php]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>

<style type="text/css">
#wrapper {margin: 0 auto 0 auto; width: 600px;}
</style>
</head>

<body>

<div id="wrapper">
<p>content to be centered</p>
</div>

</body>
</html>
[/code]

@dtm32236Jan 17.2008 — not that it matters, but....

[B]margin {0 auto;}[/B] works just the same.... it applies 0 to top and bottom, and auto to left and right.

and if you want a fluid layout, make the width a percentage (try width:85%)
