Centering Websites

def1 · 08-13-2005, 11:04 PM

I thought I posted this already but I guess not

does anyone know the html code for centering websites. Its not in tables its in seperate images so please help

Porte · 08-14-2005, 12:11 AM

Please explain. You would center any object using <center></center> or what you are trying to do exactly?

If I think I know what your talking about then you would do this. I don't know the HTML code off hand because I always do it in my editor such as Dreamweaver. But to center you "whole" website you would open up your design/page in Dreamweaver and click on the <body> tag on the status bar. After you click on it, in the properties inspector there should be a "Page Properties" button. Click on that, I believe its in the first tab it comes to, there should be a "Center" button. Click on it, click ok/apply and your site/design should be centered. If this doesn't work, try clicking off the design and looking in the properties inspector to see if the "Page Properties" button still is there. If it is, try again what I said above. Best of luck.

in the HTML find:

"<body>"
and put "<center>" below it

then find "</body>"
and put "</center>" above it!

Thats what I do all the time!

Post your URL so someone with a higher resolution can view it for you.

Here's what it looks like on 1280x1024 (low res image just to show general appearance):

Jon_ · 08-14-2005, 11:04 AM

Actually when you enter the "artists" page, the images do pull apart..

Don't know without spending a lot of time analyzing it -- your best bet is to copy the HTML from a 'good' page and modifying it to recreate the Artists page.

edmarriner · 08-14-2005, 12:26 PM

did the html page come from somthing like photoshop because if so if you dont slice well your tables wont fully strechable. what i would do is in photoshop (or the editor) export only the left side to html , do the same for the right and put two ables next to each other in one html page and cody and past the html from the other two files

photoshop sucks at coding. I ususally code it myself, then I know where everything is, and how I have put it together!

it still doesnt make sense why it didnt affect the other pages

Coolprogram · 08-14-2005, 06:33 PM

Code:

<center>
Words/links
</center>

There that should do it if you want it to be centered.

def1 · 08-14-2005, 07:12 PM

I tried changing the html to fix the spaces between images is everything still centered and is it fixed?
