Multiple Layers Centered

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 05.2005

I am starting to learn CSS and have got stuck at the first hurdle using dreamweaver!

I have 3 layers, one along the top, one underneath towards the left and then another on the right of this. I would like all these alligned in the middle when the site is viewed at different resolutions.
My css code is:

<style type=”text/css”>
<!–
#Top {
position:absolute;
left:104px;
top:28px;
width:792px;
height:183px;
z-index:1;
border: 1px solid #0066FF;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
#Left {
position:absolute;
left:103px;
top:230px;
width:196px;
height:600px;
z-index:2;
border: 1px solid #0066FF;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
#Middle {
position:absolute;
left:326px;
top:232px;
width:569px;
height:601px;
z-index:3;
border: 1px solid #0066FF;
font-size: 16px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
body {
background-color: #D7FFFF;
}
–>
</style>

and body code is:

<body>
<div id=”Top”></div>
<div id=”Left”></div>
<div id=”Middle”></div>
</body>
</html>

I have searched the forum for help but I have only found a solution to make one layer centered but with 3 I cant seem to get it to work.

Thanks in advance for any help/pointers!

@ray326Dec 06.2005 — I am starting to learn CSS and have got stuck at the first hurdle using dreamweaver![/QUOTE]That's problem #1. Don't try to learn fundamentals using a high end editor. Get [url=http://htmlkit.com]HTML-kit[/url] and work directly with the code. That will make you keep it simple until you know what you're doing. The big problem with your existing CSS is the absolute positioning.

Success!
