Please help centering website!!

Hello,
After researching and getting lost with so many different responses, I figured I'd ask myself to get the response I needed. I use Dreamweaver CS 5.5 and I am having a ton of trouble figuring out how to make it so my website is centered on all monitors and devices. Here is the current website: http://www.kyledake.com/
However, I am removing and adding a lot of stuff, so I thought now would be a good time to fix things. Here is the code of the homepage I am fixing up; after removing a lot fo the content. I apologize for posting all of it, I don't know specifially where to look. I use a lot of DIVs too, so if anyone has an alternate solution to get things on the site where I want them, please let me know:

Problem with centering website, please help

Hello
I designed a website in with my 17" laptop and it looks great on my computer. I used the elastic template with a header and sidebar that is installed in Dreamweaver CS4. However, it looks terrible on a normal desktop computer!! The container is off to the left side of the screen, when on my laptop it is nicely centered. I used the striped background image to frame it in but when its not centered right it doesn't look so hot. How can I fix this? I'm so fustrated!! I just want it to look the same on all monitors and be nicely centered.
Here is the website: www.flirtclothing.ca
Please help!!
Thank you
Jenn

Looks fine to me in Chrome, IE 8, Firefox, Opera, and Safari (all on XP).

Centered Website Problems???

Can someone please tell me why everything is shifted to the
left on a PC but centered on my MAC when i look at this site that i
am creating? I want the logo and picture to be centered.
www.EclipseThem.com/beta
Thanks,
dbrenton

It's centered for me in Safari 3x (Mac and PC), IE6 and 7,
and FF2x (Mac and
PC). I'm only looking at the landing page - is that right?

Website is not centered in Mozilla Firefox

Hello,
Our website was designed by a developer with whom we no longer can get in touch with. We have a small issue and we just can not figure out how to resolve it so we are turning to you for assistance.
When you open our website http://nflalumnisouthflorida.org in Internet Explorer it is aligned properly in the center of the page, however when we open it in Mozilla Firefox it is displayed on the left side.
I am sure it is a simple oversight when it was originally developed, however we can not find the proper line in the code to correct this.
Please help.
Thank you in advance for your attention and assistance,
NFL Alumni South Florida Chapter Team

There is my code so far and here is the layout of what it's suppose to look like.

I can upload dimensions of all those pics in the picture if you ask. Please help me out and let me know. I'm a beginner. :/

I just uploaded to 000webhost.com and used FTP FileZilla. That is my website so far and the problem is as you can see in this picture. I inspected the element in chrome and this is the picture. http://i46.tinypic.com/vhg64k.png and as you can see the "Container" is highlighted in blue and that is where I want my logo and everything to be in and for some reasons I can't seem to get it inside the container. I just realized that the container is centered and I got that margin on auto which is good, but why is the contents not in it? Any help with that?

Website centering

Hello,
I've been trying to learn Fireworks for a few weeks now and
so far I'm enjoying the journey. However, the website I've created
seems left-justified, when I'd like it to be centered. I've tried
increasing the canvas size, reducing the image size, (which seems
to be the same as canvas) and have had no luck. What should I do to
center the website? You can see an example
here.
Thanks!

Website size and centering

Hey im having a super hard time doing the easiest thing! I
just want my website centered. the code is below ive even made a
ccs style that should center it but i dont know how to let this
html know how to talk to the css style.
Also its 4.2 mb that seems kind of big or is that normal for
a portfolio website? The site is christianvonstackelberg.net I'd be
happy to send to source file. Thanks.

For anyone who might chance upon needing this posting,
regrettably the proposed solution above does not nest the 'center'
tags correctly. It should be:
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<center>
</center>
</body>
</html>

Website not centered on layout, but it is on Internet Explorer, what could be the problem?

My website www.thegreatestmindsofourtime.com/downloadpagemain.htm
does not get centered when it displayed with Firefox.
But if I use internet explorer, it is centered as it supposed to be.

I'm not seeing that style rule.
<pre><nowiki>.style54 {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
</nowiki></pre>
You can test it by pasting this bookmarklet code in the Scratchpad window and execute (run) the code via Ctrl+R<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var doc=document,css=doc.createElement('LINK');css.rel='stylesheet';css.type='text/css';css.href='data:text/css,'+'.style54 {margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;}';doc.documentElement.childNodes[0].appendChild(css);})();</nowiki></pre>

Centering a table based website.

Hi,
I created a table based website. I want to center everything rather than it being left justified.
I am kinda new to dreamweaver. Here is a rough copy of the site.
http://test.taffyproductions.com/
thanks,
Gary

You need three things to center a page.
1) a valid document type
2) a width in pixels, % or ems
3) margin-left and margin-right set to auto.
Try this. Copy and paste this code into a new HTML document.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {width: 100%; background:silver}
#wrapper {
width: 900px; /**adjust width as needed**/
margin:0 auto; /**centers on screen**/
text-align: center; /**centers in older browsers**/
background: #FFF;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<p>Your content goes here</p>
<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>end of #wrapper</p>
</div>
</body>

Centering a very wide Edge Website?

I'm trying to find a way to center a website built in Adobe Edge Animate, and having a heck of a time. I've tried virtually every code I've found for centering a website, without any luck so far.
I have a website that is 2000px wide. Its this wide so that it formats well on large screen resolutions with ease, however, I want it to look good for people that have resolutions below 1920x1080, however I can't find a way to do it. Here is the website as it right now
http://zsuttonphoto.com/Press.html
Obviously, I would like the horizontal scroll bar to be removed, and the center column to be centered in the screen, so that it looks like this--
http://i.imgur.com/AYR4bAe.jpg
Does anyone have any advice on how to do this?

Hey Z
Here is a small sample (exclusive of any coding) jus to give you an idea. Also sample is minimal just to showcase.
Preview example in browser and resize.
Preview: http://www.heathrowe.com/edge/presskit/presskit.html
Download: http://www.heathrowe.com/edge/presskit/presskit.zip
Key points
- Stage w is set to 100%, to provide full independant with
- Anything else on the stage is contained in blocks (nested divs) for mangement and position puposes. Example top area elements is in a nested div called 'Top'; bio elements is nested in a div called 'bioArea' etc.
The key with the positioning is to make the nested div blocks % (in my case 100% w) w/h and relative to the Top/Left (%) of the Stage. Select thee 'Top' div group for example and observe the Position and Size properties in the Property Panel.
The next key is to position the elements within the nested div blocks relative to its own container. So the same principle applies -. in the case of the 'Top' div it has your header image, a fake logo to the left, and a fake tag line to the right, and a menu bar. These elements are nested in the 'Top' div so to make them relative in position - set the X/Y to % and ensure the upper left position marker is active. This tells Edge to 'lock' the relative position to the parent container (Top) to the upper left. Select the fake byLine element, set X/Y to % and ensure the upper right marker is active.
Then work your way down, for each element relative to the container its in.
Note I only used 2 images in the above example. You can make good use of the Edge div/text tool where possible to avoid over-use of images.
Its a quick example and some trial/error will be required. Just make sure to test each element position before moving along. Also as you scale down to say a mobile phone width, some 'resize' event handler will be required to hide some elements, change font size etc where desired or applicable.

Website Always centered

I am trying to make a flash website, very simple website, I
don't know coding or anything but I know enough to make a flash
website. One thing I really NEED that I can't seem to figure out
how to do is Make my flash website Always stay centered no matter
how big or small the user makes their browser window. And if they
change the browser window sie then the site adjusts and centers
itself.
Can Anyone help me out? It seems like a fairly simple thing
to do, I just can't seem to figure it out? Do I HAVE to use code or
can I click a setting somewhere? I never used code.
Thanks for your help.

You can use a table HTML/XHTML center it and put your flash
object/file in it
or simply align the body tag "center".
To make your flash stage bigger/smaller depending on the
screen/browser window size,
use 100% for the width and the height of your embedded .swf
file.

Centering Flash Websites???

Hi people,
I've designed a website in flash but I don't know how to
center it horizontally as well as vertically. I know that if I ad a
<center> tag, that centers it horizontally only. Does anyone
know how to center it so that when you re-scale your browser, the
website remains centered horizontally and vertically?
The code at the moment is this:
<title>main</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">


<center>
<object
classid="clsid:d28cdb6e-ae6d-12cf-97b7-444772540000" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
width="910" height="500" id="main" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="main.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="main.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="910" height="500" name="main" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
</object>
</center>
</body>
</html>
For an example to see what I mean look at
http://www.louisvuitton.com
Your help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

Well, first off you need to use updated code on your pages so
that IE on PC will show the site without having to have it
"enabled".
I would suggest using the
Express
Install Option listed on the Adobe web site.
After that, head over to
gotoAndLearn and check out
his tutorial on centering Flash sites. Just as an FYI, the way I
implement his cenetering technique on sites
like this one is by
putting the entire "site" inside a movieclip, and then having the
code center that movieclip.
Hope that helps!
