Div Tags

aal814 · 10-31-2005, 10:09 AM

Hey guys, so in dreamweaver 2004 mx when we chose to use layers, it will be coded as a div tag.

Now if our template that is inside the table i have hade, is set to be aligned as center, how will i align the div tag to go center as well? cause when u maximize the internet window, the template moves to center it self, but the text and images i placed into the div tag doesnt.

Can someone suggest any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Thanks !

To align text in the center of a div, just do this:

Code:

<div style="text-align:center"></div>

Can you cut and paste what you have so we can see it?

Code:

<div style="margin:auto"></div>

Try that, it should center the div horizontally in the page. Does that work?

This should be:

Code:

<div style="margin:0 auto"></div>

You need the correct doctype for this to work in IE too.

Just copy the style in that div into your main div.

You would probably want this doctype:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Stick it at the VERY TOP of the html.

Use relative placement your layers I bet are placed as absolute. Relative I belive should be relative to the parent Container (your centre frame)
