Need Help Centering Page Content

Hi, I have added a white box behind my main page content but the content is not centered within the box. It seems to be on the left. There are a number of different style sheets and I need to find out which style is affecting how the content is positioned.
1. In this link below I’m not sure what is making the content go to the “left”. I need all of the thumbnails to be centered in the white area. That is what I need to find out first. What is the best way to find what is causing the thumbnails to go to the left? Is there an easy way to narrow down what is causing the thumbnails to go to the left?
If I select “ul.work li” I notice it is set to (float: left). If I change it to (float: right) the thumbnails all move to the right. but if I set it to (float: none) the thumbnails all line up vertically. Not what I want.
http://www.buzzfx.ca/2d_character.html
In the homepage I also need to have all of the content centered.
http://www.buzzfx.ca
2. Also, how would I move the white box up to align with (touch the bottom) of the grey header?

Thanks John, I managed to watch a good tutorial that set me straight.
So back to the initial question. I am trying to center the content in the body but it seems to be aligned "left". Using Firebug, I think I have found the part that needs changing.
1. At this link: http://www.buzzfx.ca/2d_character.html
2. I hovered over the thumbnails until I found: <ul class="work fullwork clearfix">
3. I then looked in the style and I believe it is this code below in "bold italics" that I need to edit to get the "content" to be centered but I am not sure how specifically to fix it/
Q. Why does "margin-left: 40px;" have a strike through it?
Q. Is "margin-left: 40px;" the reason the content is aligned "left"?
Q. Could I not just "center" the contents instead of have it positioned from the "left"? Please explain!
I would be very grateful if someone could look at my page in Firebug to tell what the best way is to center the body content.
.clearfix:after {   clear: both;
   content: ".";
    display: block;
    height: 0;
    line-height: 0;
    visibility: hidden;
ul.work {
margin: 0 -15px;
ul, ol {
margin-left: 40px;
h1, h2, h3, h4, form, table, ul, ol, p, dl, blockquote, hr {margin-bottom: 30px;
text-align: left;
ol, ul {
list-style: none outside none;

Need Help Centering Page in Browser Window

I'm designing my pages by creating a graphic framework in
Photoshop, slicing and exporting images into css using Fireworks to
a Dreamweaver html page. These pages look great; but they load into
the upper left corner of the browser window
I was taking a Dreamweaver class at the Denver Art Institute,
that was worthless. I dropped the class after the 4th week and am
now teaching myself. I asked the teacher how to center this kind of
page in a browser window, so the page would behave like most
webpages, centering as you change the width of the browser window.
I also wanted to add a repeating pattern in a background image. She
told me that she didn't know how, that I would have to build the
background into my Photoshop file. So, that's what I've been doing.
However, when people with smaller monitors change pages within a
site the built-in background requires them to recenter the page
manually each time.
Is there a way to center the page and add a background image
that is not built in? I've tried using Dreamweaver's background
image and margins in the Page Properties; but that just pushes the
page to the upper left and adds the background to the right and
bottom of the page.
Please visit:
http://www.livingwater.la,
http://www.renegadegraphics.biz
and
http://www.dentalmatchmakers.net
for examples.
Thanks for your help.

>I was taking a Dreamweaver class at the Denver Art
Institute, that was worthless
Yes, those classes usually are worthless because they focus
on using the tool without giving you the proper foundation for
understanding and managing html and css. Unfortunately, all of the
example sites you gave you AP Divs (layers) as a primary layout
method, which is a terrible approach. AP Divs should be used rarely
if ever, and only when you understand how they work. When the
visitors font is sized differently than you expected, the site
falls apart. The correct approach is to learn web
design/development outside of the context of a specific
application.

is a good place to start for a basic understanding of html and css.

I need help Centering a div box to a background image using dreamweaver cs5.5. Everything shift left when viewing on different size monitors? See what I mean at
www.woodlandhospice.com

Have you looked at your page with images disabled?
I urge you to re-think this approach to web design because images of text are not indexed by search engines, screen readers or translators. Given the demographic group your site is targeting, you really need to ensure maximum web accessibility for all users.
Navigation, headings and descriptions all need to be in real text -- not images of text.
Ken is right. Absolute positioning is pure poison for such a simple layout. My advice is to start over with one of the pre-built Starter Pages in DW. Go to File > New > Blank page > HTML. Select a layout from the 3rd column and hit CREATE button.

Need help with Page Layout and Background Scaling

hello, everyone.
I am in the process of designing a new website for myself,
and while I was researching nicely designed pages to use as
inspiration, I stumbled upon this site:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/
obviously, the design is very impressive, but it also
incorporates a lot of web mechanics that I have been trying to
figure out, so I will use this page as an example.
one thing I need help with is backgrounds. as you can see in
the posted website, the creator used a seamlessly tiled paper
texture to display the bulk of his content on. also make not of the
pattern that is located to the left of the paper texture. how do I
create seamless backgrounds like this that will scale to fit any
amount of content or any resolution? I can't imagine that the guy
that made that site created a new size background every time he
made an update, so there has to be an easier way.
the second thing that I am having trouble with is general
site layout. I have read that most sites used series of invisible
tables to organize there content, but when I open the source of
this page in dreamweaver, he was using something different. div
tags? should I be using these? who do I use them? are there any
general layout tips that someone could pass on to me? perhaps a
link to a good tutorial?
please help me. i am very confused.
thanks so much.

IMO not a good site to emulate. To wit:
Top background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-top.jpg;
745px
x 350px 137K
Main background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-tile.jpg;
745px x 950px 130K
Total page size: 454K (Check here:
www.websiteoptimization.com)
Website usability experts routinely recommend a maximum page
size of ~80K
Check out the We We Scale @ www.FutureNowInc.com/wewe/ where
they suggest,
"You speak about yourself approximately 0,003 times as often
as you speak
about your customers. Might that have an impact on your
effectiveness?"
That is 100% consistent with the #1 Web Design mistake:
"Believing people
care about you and your web site." or to phrase more
expansively, "Our site
tries to tell you how wonderful we are as a company, but not
how we're going
to solve your problems."
www.sitepoint.com has some excellent books on making a
website actually
attractive and usable at the same time.

Need help centering DIV in CSS

Hi- I had a "coming to jesus" last night regarding my website. I've been out of the professional web design world for about 7 years. I'm getting back in it. I used to design in tables and after some reading, I know I need to design in DIV. My problem is I do not know how to get my main section centered on the page.
I did a sketch up of what I want in layout terms.
Any suggestions on how to center a 980px div?
Here's a link to my current page with table layout.

I need help centering my images.

Hi,
I am very new to DreamWeaver and have been teaching myself
for the past week. I am building my own small website for my
portoflio and can not figure out how to auto center my website.
When I center one image the other images are in the wrong spots. I
want everything to center itself based on how big the browser is
open. Please someone help me!!!!! It's very hard to explain what I
am trying to do.. I have 3 layers in my page and they are
overlapping. I dont want each of them auto centered by
themselves,,, I want them all centered as a whole. Do I have to
select them all then center them somehow? I have tried everything
and now I am forced to ask for help!!
here is a screenshot

It would work exactly the way you want if you did what I
suggested. As far
as I can tell, there is no change to the code at the link you
give below.
Using layers to build your pages is what has gotten you into
this mess.
It's not a best practice by any means....

Need help debugging page in IE8

The site in question works great on every browser except IE8. There is a div underneath the blue logo on the left hand side of the page that fades in with some copy. It is driven by a simple embedded script. However, I cannot figure out why it is not working in IE8. It just will not show up. I have tried multiple things and at this point I dont care if the fade in works, I just want the side text to appear on the left hand side of the page underneath the logo without having to reformat the page. I tried removing the javascript altogether and and removing the "Display: none" funtion from each div so they would be visible, but they are still not showing up. What gives?
The div that it being called by the javascript code is #wrapper_content_home, by which it contains three other divs within it that fade-in when the script is fired (#pageTitle, #solidDivider, #sideContent).
I am currently using VirtualBox to test and have it configured to Windows XP 32 bit using IE8.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my code or what I need to do to fix this issue? Could it be a Doctype declaration issue? At this point, I have no idea. Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Need help with page display URGENTLY!!!

Hey,
I'm trying to start up my new iPod nano. I've got the songs for it, but the page won't display all the way. Where it says the licence of agreement it won't show the o.k. button and before that it doesn't say the register button either. It doesn't do this on my internet. Or on anything else. So now I can't put anything on my iPod because I can't get it started up.
Please help! I really need to put some songs on my new iPod!!!!
Please and thank you.

Try increasing the resolution of your computer's screen (right-click on the desktop -> Properties - Settings; you want 1024x768 or higher) and perhaps then you'll be able to see all the buttons and controls in iTunes.

Need help with PAGES in the document file will not open

Hi if anyone can help me I woud appreciate it-
I downlaoded awhile back the new software X and eveything was fine till I tried to open some documents (pages) and it will NOT OPEN a window pops up a newer version is available but when I go in there are NO UPDATES and I really do not think I need to buy a newer version do I?
Please Help

When you installed the latest version of Pages (and other iWork apps), the older versions were saved in a folder named "iWorks '09" in the Applications folder. You're trying to open a document that was saved in Pages 5 or in Pages for iOS using the older version of Pages. What you probably need to do is remove the Dock icon and drag Pages 5 into the Dock.

Need Help Centering Thumbnails!

Question #1
Hi, on my web page the thumbnals are not centered in the page but go to the left. In Dreamweaver I've turned on outlines so you can see that the thumbnails are not centered. I am trying to vertically and horizontally center my thumbnails in the div. (see image) I need to know which CSS Rule controls the centering of the thumbnails?
http://www3.telus.net/~jessum/PAGES/visual_light_box.html
Question #2
A second question. I am using Visual Lightbox for my thumbnail gallery but in the interface there is no setting to add space between the thumbnails or to center the thumbnails on the page. So every time I upload my gallery the thumbnails are really close together and they go to the left and are not centered.
It's frustrting to have to constantly edit the CSS and add space between the thumbnails every time I upload the gallery. Is there a solution to fix this so I can upload my gallery and the spacing and position of the thumbnails will be the same?
I just wish there was a simple gallery solution but I haven't seen one yet. Hmmm.

Also I wish there was a way to preview the page in a browser without having to save the page every time. If I make some changes and they are not correct then I have to save the page and I've messed it all up. In Golive you could preview the page without saving it and it made it a lot easier to just undo or close the page an reopen it. Do you know why you can't make some changes then preview the page in a browser without saving it?
Edit > Preferences > Preview in Browser
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/795084
There are 2 ways you can do a preview in browser (according to your preferences settings):
1. Preview using temp files
2. Preview not using temp files
If you are using method 2, then each time you preview, the last saved version of the file will be loaded by the browser for the preview. Thus, to see your latest changes, you just have to SAVE the file.
If you are using method 1, then each time you preview, a temporary file is built by DW from the current page, and that temporary file is what is previewed in the browser. Each time you preview a page, a NEW temporary file is created.
With method 1, you have to save the page before you can preview. With method 2, you do not have the save the page before you can preview.
