Community /Pin to ProfileBookmarkwell to centre it you place it all inside a container div if it isnt already, then give the body a text-align: center; and the container a margin: 0 auto; and specify a width, either px em or whatever depending on your other measurements. As for the different colours is a little strange, as long as they are specified as the same they should look the same, it may be an interference on your monitor somewhere? any thing else electrical/magnetical or the like near by..
Make sure the width is a max-width. You don't want it to looked messed up in lower resolutions.[url=http://www.dynamicsitesolutions.com/css/center_element/]How to Center Elements with CSS (in IE5+/Win and other browsers)[/url]
this is my website[URL=http://www.datzwhatzup.net]here[/URL]
i tried your method and it didnt work me is there any other way. thanksIt won't work right because you are using so much absolute positioning.
You could add a <div> wrapper and give it position:relative. Then the method that bathurst_guy suggested should work.
thanks, but can u give me <div> wrapper code.
ok i did that but still doesn't work what am i missing.
I don't know if thats a good technique but it works well for my site. ?

</html>Theres a couple list types, but for bulleting.
<ul>
<li>List Item</li>
<li>List Item</li>
</ul>
[SIZE=4]All that just to center a page. I guess my way really is better.[/SIZE] bullets work great, but now how to keep single spacing between bullets? thanks.
Next time, Picasa, please start your own thread.
[b]e-realmz[/b], most of that code is not used for centering. There is no good reason to use a table just for horizontal centering. Read this:[url=http://www.dynamicsitesolutions.com/css/center_element/]How to Center Elements with CSS (in IE5+/Win and other browsers)[/url]
[b]able[/b], '#div.wrapper' should be 'div.wrapper'. Also, you don't need both #container and div.wrapper; you only need one of them.
thanks to all who help.. i finally got it to work. anyone have any ideas with color situation i have in the original thread. thanks ?
how to center webpage
hi, i used dreamweaver to build my site. but i just realize that the page is to the left on a higher resolution monitor. i tried a couple methods i found in the forum but none works. also when i open up my site firefox my border colors on the right side border the color is correct but on the left border the color is a different shade. any help will be appreciated. thanks
