Center html preview in browser window

I've recently created a 800x400 pixel flash document and
published it to html. When previewing in my browser it positions
itself in the upper left-hand corner of my window. What adjustments
to the publishing settings (or html coding) do I need to apply to
center it vertically and horizontally in my browser window at
preview? Thanks for any responses.

it would be of better help if you listed your site. Or if you
posted your code, i could help you with this issue.

I think this is what you mean any way hope it helps.
open the .html file in text edit for the page you want to change. then look for
<title>whatever your title is</title>
and just change the text whatever your title is for whatever you want. the line of code is located at the top of the page under the line that reads
<meta name="Generator" content="iWeb 1.1.2" />
not sure if this was the answer to your question but i hope its helped.

How to center flash movie in browser window

Can anyone explain how to horizontally center my Flash movie in the web browser window after publishing?
A bit of background:
I was able to achieve this using <center></center> tags a few years ago. But I have since upgraded to CS5 and I understand that this old method is now obsolete.
I have found a few threads/forums that address this, but I know nothing about HTML and these threads don't help me because they assume you have more knowledge than I possess. When opening up the index.html file in Dreamweaver I can't find anything that looks vaguely familiar to what is being discussed. I have found some code samples using <div></div> tags but have no idea where to place it.
So I will need it explained to me in a step by step fashion, including which file I need to fix and what program I should use. Code samples will be very welcome if you can tell me exactly where it goes.
Thanks in advance...

Just realized that there is no scrolling functionality with the .swf generated from the new CS5. Can anyone help out by providing revised code for centering and scrolling?
I found something elsewhere in the forums that worked for both centering and scrolling that worked fine yesterday, but upon visiting my site today for testing, it did not allow the scrolling, and centering did not work in Firefox. Tested both Safari and Firefox on 2 Macs running Snow Leopard.
Again, much appreciated - nice to visit forums where people are interested in helping instead of screaming at each other. Will visit the Illustrator or Indesign forum to see if I can help out someone there...

How to center wireframe layout in browser window

HELP!!
I've created a set of wireframes for a website in Proto but when I bring them up in a browser window the layout is always left aligned and I cannot figure out how to get the layout to center in the browser window.
I've used margin: 0 auto; on the container div but it does no good, the layout stays left aligned. I'm about to pull my hair out on this one.
The URL is http://www.bluegrasswebservices.com/kpp/index.html
Thanks for your help
Gary

I had the same issue and decided to make the change myself. All you have to do is add a wrapper div, match it to the width of your file and center it via CSS. It would def be much more convenient to have this as an option, but alas your solution is below....
HTML
<div id="wrapper">
Your page content
</div>
CSS
#wrapper{
    width: (width of your content);
    position: relative;
    margin: 0 auto;

Can not add Google in Preview in Browser Window

Hi
I have just started usning DW 13.2 CC on win7. In Preferences>Preview in Browser> Help, OK, Cancel Buttons are missing. Only + - Buttons are visible. I followed to next window and added Name and pointed to .exe file it took me back to <Preview in Browser> Help, OK, Cancel Buttons are missing. So how do I add Google?

Not sure what the OK and Cancel buttons are, but by using the following procedure, you will be able to add your favourite browser.
To add a browser to the list, click the Plus button, complete the Add Browser dialog box, and then click OK.
To delete a browser from the list, select the browser, and then click the Minus button.
To change settings for a selected browser, click the Edit button, make changes in the Edit Browser dialog box, and then click OK.
Select the Primary Browser or the Secondary Browser option to specify whether the selected browser is the primary or secondary browser. F12 (Windows) or Option+F12 (Macintosh) opens the primary browser; Control+F12 (Windows) or Command+F12 (Macintosh) opens the secondary browser.
Select Preview Usin
Select File > Preview In Browser > Edit Browser List.
Select Preview Using Temporary File to create a temporary copy for previewing and server debugging. (Deselect this option if you want to update the document directly.)
Please ignore the images of the plus and minus buttons, these are courtesy of this forum and has zilch to do with DW

Opening new browser window from View Library links

On some of the documentation pages, e.g. http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/ias.html , a new browser window is opened using target=new_win in the HTML code. This window will be re-used if the user goes back and clicks on another, similar link. It's better to use target=_blank for this purpose, because that would ensure that a new browser window is opened every time.

You would have to a) swap the image, and b) expose a
previously hidden layer
that superimposes the image with a transparent GIF on which
the onClick
behavior has been applied.

Faux column background not aligned in smaller browser window...

I'm working on a three-column webpage. I'm using fixed-width columns, with the left and right columns floated (started with a dreamweaver layout). I am also using a background applied to the <body> tag to apply the faux column look, so that the side column backgrounds flow all the way down the page.
My layout is a total of 780px wide, but the background image I'm using is 2000px wide. It's the same image that was used in the previous version of the website, and I can only guess that the image is that wide to "fill" the extra space around the main content when the browser window is wider than 780px. Because the image is so wide, I have it styled to center on the page. When my browser window >= 780px wide, everything looks great... the faux columns line up perfectly with the divs. However, when I make the window less than 780px, things get messy.
My layout elements stay where they are, meaning that the left edge of the container stays aligned with the left edge of the screen and a scroll bar appears at the bottom. However, since my background is set to center itself, it continues to try to center itself in the browser window. Basically, the content is not centered in the browser window, but the background is, causing the faux columns to not line up with the divs. The relevant CSS I have applied is:
body {
    font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 12px;
    color: #666666;
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    background-position: center;
    background-image: url(../img/BG-gray.gif);
#container {
    width: 780px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
Note: everything within the container div stays where it should relative to the container, so I didn't include the CSS for them, though I can post it up later if you really need to see it.
Is there a way to keep everything lined up in a smaller browser window? Or, would it be better to trim down the background image to the same width as the container?
Sorry for the long message, but I'm new at this. Please don't eat me.

Same problem, only worse. That causes the background to show from the very left edge of the image. All my text is in the gray area in the example below. Let me try to clarify...
The background image is something like this (colors are for clarity):
(filler)
Left faux column
Main content goes here. This is always in the center of the browser window.
Right faux column
(filler)
Where the combined width of the blue, white, and red sections is 780px. This is what I want my layout to line up with, the blue and red columns being the faux left and right columns, respectively. The gray areas are "filler" that colors the excess width in browser windows that are wider than the fixed width of the main content. With the background set to centered, the white stripe is always centered in the browser window. As long as the window is wider than my layout, the layout is centered in the browser window as well.
I'm looking for a way to either center the background relative to the layout container, not the browser window, or to keep the layout container centered in the browser window when the window is narrower than the layout.

Preview in browser change html code

Hi!
Often when I sketch web sites in Fireworks I preview the page
as an image in my browsers, just to get a feeling of the page in
its real environement, so to speak. Often my web sites are aligned
to the center but Fireworks just put the image to the left and
don´t remove the standard body margins.
Is there a way for me to change the html code used in the
preview in browser command?

why not make a standard page (in dw) with zero margins and
padding, and
single div centred with one image and then place the native
fireworks
png in there, save and preview that page from DW and then
when you work
on your fw image just save it and press refresh in your
browser window.
when you do a new project simply swap the new fw png for the
old fw png ;)

Unable to center webpage in browser window!!!

Hi! I have looked for and tried almost everything to center my webpage in the browser window yet it doesn't work!
this is the page: www.claudechalhoub.com. I want the page to be centered regardless of the browser window size!
I have included the following code in my html:
<style type="text/css">
body {
text-align:center; /*For IE6*/
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
min-width:770px;
background-image: url(pictures/lastimage.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #000;
font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif;
color:#FFF;
font-style: normal;
#wrapper {
width: 770px;
margin:0 auto;
text-align: left;
</style>
And then I've included:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="ap_text"> "The beauty of Claude Chalhoub's music is that it doesnt sound "new" at all. It sounds familiar, even if you have never listened to Arabic music (or classical music) at all. As if it had always been there. It's as natural as breathing. And that's what great art is all about – making the difficult seem easy."</div>
</div>
</body>
I can not figure out what is wrong for it not to work!
Any guidance???

If you still insist you want to have your image within the background image, you could just change your 'body' css tag as follows:
body {
text-align:center; /*For IE6*/
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
min-width:770px; /*minimum fixed width to suit majority of smallest browser widths*/
background-image: url(pictures/lastimage.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #000;
font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif;
color:#FFF;
font-style: normal;
background-position: center top;
Center positions is horizontally and top positions it vertically.

Why can't I drag an image or html file into a browser window with Firefox 17

to get a quick view of various images or html files, I like simply dragging the files from my local drive into a Firefox browser window.
since upgrading to FF 17, I can no longer do that. a NO symbol comes up when attempting this. and Dreamweaver will no longer preview with Firefox, even though it's my designated, preferred browser.
anybody know if both of these are some setting or something?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Can not center Html flash file in a browser..

Hi all,
After i publish a flash project and try to open the html file with a browser it is always at the left of the browser, why?
In addition i have some problems with size too..
What is the size of the browser's area for viewing any content(i mean the parts below the navigation tabs to start menu)?
How can i adjust my project to this?
Thx for helping.
Note: My html settings seems true, it says "center center" but i dont know how to solve this.

The placement of your .swf on a Web page and it's alignment in the browser window is a function of HTML and CSS (styling of the Web page), it has nothing to do with the Flash .swf. Remember, there is no such thing as a Flash Web site... only HTML, PHP, ASP, etc. Web sites that have some Flash content.
While you can use Flash to auto generate that HTML, it's only a generic solution, really only meant to test the .swf on a Web page, and usually generates excessive and un-needed code... but it does let you see the .swf on a Web page.
So depending on whether or not your .swf is to take up the entire Web page or just be one component of the Web page, you may need to use slightly different code to correctly place the .swf on the Web page, set the top margin, center the .swf, etc. To review a few basics on the layout of a Web page, here is a great source:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
As for sizing, are you wanting the .swf to always stay the same size or "scale" as the browser window expands or shrinks?
Best wishes,

When previewed in browser or on the server the path of my web site repeats folders. However the "href" in the html code does not show the repetition in the path.

If someone could help me on this one, this would be great. I am creating a web site that has several departments. I have categorized and saved each department in a main folder called "departments" and a subfolder for each one. In the Dreamweaver code view the pop-up menu links seem to show up properly, but when I preview in browser or upload to server "page not found" comes up because for some reason the address changes. Some parts of the address seem to be appearing twice, sometimes the entire path will appear twice as shown below:
http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/departments/parks-and-recreation/departments/p arks-and-recreation/pr-arabiamtn-map.html
that is incorrect and it takes me to "web page cannot be found".
It is obviously repeating the folders (hence the "departments/parks-and-recreation" twice. The correct link is:
http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/departments/parks-and-recreation/pr-arabiamtn- map.html
The link issues are happening in the pop-up menu. For example if you go to http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/departments/parks-and-recreation/pr-arabiamtn. html and rollover the link called "Arabia Mountain" in the links to the left side of the page, then click the pop-up menu link entitled "Arabia Mountain Map" that's where the problem occurs.
Can anyone tell me how I can fix this problem. I don't know what I should do with the code since it already appears correct in html view.
Please help if you can...
Thanks in advance for any possible help you can provide...

The link issues are happening in the pop-up menu.
This problem usually happens when the menu is either a server-side include or a library item using links relative to the document. When you reference a page at a different level of the folder hierarchy, the document-relative links no longer point to the correct destination.
Change the links in the menu to be relative to the site root.
A document-relative link usually looks like this:
<a href="../products/index.html">Products</a>
A link relative to the site root begins with a forward slash like this:
<a href="/products/index.html">Products</a>

The best audience for applets is people off the internet. 'People off the internet' might be using a computer that has no (what was it?) 'open.html' in the root of the C: drive. In fact (shock horror) they may not even be running Windows, and would therefore probably have no 'C:' drive at all.
If you do not intend to distribute this to people off the web, an application makes a lot more sense, but even then, you cannot rely on the document being there unless you 'put it there' (during installation, for instance).
As the other poster intimated, applets can load documents off the local disk as long as they are trusted. Here is an example*, but note that it is not so rash as to presume any particular path or file, and instead leaves it to the user to choose the document to display.
* The short code can be seen at SDNShare on the [Defensive Loading of Trusted Applets|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2315] post.
On the other hand, a sandboxed applet can load any document coming from its own server via URL, or get showDocument(URL) to work. In that case, the JRE must recognize that the URL is from its own server, so the best way to form URLs for applet use is via the URL constructor
new URL(getDocumentBase(), "path/to/open.html");That is how I form the URL in this [ sandboxed example of formatting source|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/jh%2FHelpSetter.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0]. Of course, in this case the applet loads the document, then parses the text to draw the formatted version, but the point is that an URL produced this way will work with showDocument(URL).
I am pretty sure showDocument() in an applet off the internet will work with an URL pointing to a foreign (not its own) server, but it will not be able to load documents off the end user's local disks.
I suggest a couple of things.
- Try to express this problem in terms of what feature it is that you want to offer the end user. Your question jumps directly to a bad strategy for achieving ..who knows what? An example of a feature is "Shows the applet 'help' files on pressing F1".
- A good way to indicate interest in a solution is to offer [Duke stars|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunForums/Duke+Stars+Program+Overview] to match that interest.
Edit 1:
..and please figure out how to use the CODE tags.
