Hey,

Im having a bit of an issue with a website im building for a band.

The band want a site that is 2500 width so that when the page loads you can either scroll roght or left to view the out of screen material…

i cant find a way of the page loading centered…it is always loading to the far left and all i can do is scroll right…i have uploaded the site to [url]http://www.testingserver.comuv.com[/url]

I origionally posted this thread in the CSS forum but was instructed this would be a Javascript issue

Any help with this would be really appreciated as i cant find any other threads on this specific issue.

thanks very much.
