Please help with CSS problem

Hi.

First, thanks to everyone who is reading this post and to anyone who can (will) help!

I have decided to make my web site more compliant to web standards. This means that I have to change from HTML 4.01 to XHTML 1.0 (done) and change my table layout to CSS (almost done). I had to use Dreamweaver to convert because I'm still not comfortable with CSS. However, I don't know how to center the layers/layout so that it's in the middle of the page and yet will work with all resolutions.

Make a fixed width layer to hold your entire layout and set margin:auto for that layer. In correct browsers that will center the layout. However IE does not support that correctly. To solve that you most commonly add text-align:center to the body tag. (This should not center the layer at all in a correct browser).

Yeah, as above but don't forget to set the correct doc-type at the top of the page or else you'll have problems....
