Need Help - Page Centering on Monitor

I am trying to center my index.html page on the center of my
monitor. When I view it on my monitor it is always locked onto the
left side of my monitor. I am using "fixed width" for my page
layout. My code looks ok. I feel the problem is in my "body tag"
but everything looks ok. What and where am I not seeing?
I forgot to mention..... I am using Dreamweaver CS3.
Thanks for you help.

  • Need help with centering my page

    I have done everything I can think of, including going through the many posts here to try and correct this with no luck
    Please look at:
    http://ebnerproductions.com
    and
    http://ebnerproductions.com/index2.htm
    The first was built with basically just html.
    The 2nd was done "properly" I believe with CSS and HTML. The 2nd also has "div - #wrapper"
    left and right margins are auto also... nothing changed.
    Do I need to change something in the CSS from absolute, to fixed or inherit?
    I am completely lost at this point and really really need help.
    Thank you again in advance....

    Your CSS is corrupted -
    :visited {
        color: #6CF;<meta name="keywords"
    (note the appearance of the meta tag within the :visited selector)
    Fix that.
    Then you would need to add this rule to the fixed CSS by changing this -
    body {
        background-color: #EBEBEB;
        background-image: url(BG.jpg);
        margin-left: 75px;
        margin-top: 75px;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
    to this -
    body {
        background-color: #EBEBEB;
        background-image: url(BG.jpg);
        margin-left: 75px;
        margin-top: 75px;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        width:1346px;
        margin:75px auto;
    Then ask yourself how many people will even see this page center since 1346 is way wider than the average browser viewport width on most systems.

  • [nVidia Series] Need Help: Can not detect monitor

    I have built a computer from scratch and the computer restart itself once awhile. I tried to update all the drivers by running a live update from MSI. All the drivers were updated, except the BIOS. I also updated the newest AGP Video driver. When I restarted the computer, the monitor went blank. It says no sync. I tried with different monitor, same thing happened. Everything is running in the system, lights all are on. I thought it might be the video graphic, so i put on an other video card to test it, same thing, no screen. I don't know what to do now. Please HELP?

    How come the +12V only has 12.04V, shouldn't it be 18V? I have 5 fans running in the case, not including the PSU fan and CPU fan, but Fan2 is 0 RPM. Also, Temp2 sometime went up to 52C, then dropped to 45C. Is this normal? Did I install the power supply correctly?

  • Xorg need help - I fried my monitor

    :(:( I just fried my 3 year-old babe s monitor, might have been because of the &^%#@*#$ xorg.conf
    with auto generated xorg.conf by hwd -xa, i managed to have dwm for a while, and there came D-Day, i left the laptop on for a 3 hours working on other stuff, when i came back, i was welcome with a ominous black screen omg. Since then, i havent had any success revive the monitor again, HDD, VGA onboard chip .... everything is working just fine, but the monitor...
    so i plugged in an extra LCD and temporary used it
    I think because i ignored the warning: "This will fry old monitor" and i thought my laptop isnt that old :/
    Now i just got a new Dell Inspiron 1545 which has df resolution 1376x768
    so i have a couple questions, please help me so that i wont destroy the new one :P
    1+ are the Horizontal sync and Vertical Refresh rate very important? and if yes, which range should i use to be considered "safe choice"?
       I m currently using default HorizSync 28.00 - 78.00 and VertRefresh 50.00 -75.00 (default by hwd -xa) on Intel X4500HD using xf86-video-intel driver in extra repo. I couldnt find these information in the manual :|
    2+ any idea how i destroyed the old monitor ?
    3+ anybody used Dell Inpsiron 1545, can i see your xorg.conf ? thanks
    thanks a lot

    No, It's not your faulth. By "Old" monitor it means old crt. Probably it was about time to change the laptop (or low quiality lcd was installed) ;p
    Also you should be able to run without xorg.conf - just install driver for your video card.
    EDIT:
    Also when an LCD monitor can't display certain mode it gives "Out of range" error, it doesn't try anyway.

  • Need help/advice for XB270HU monitor. G-SYNC does not work. Monitor Flickers. No signal.

    I recently bought this Monitor and have been having constant issues with it. Before I start, here are my specs. 
    GPU:GTX Asus Strix 970
    CPU:i5 4690k @3.5GHz
    RAM:16gb
    OS:Windows 7
    All my drivers are up to date, and in the NVidia control panel G-Sync is turned on. However while gaming I still get horrible stutters everytime the FPS fluctuates even a tiny bit even going from 140FPS down to 90 FPS. I was under the impression that changes to FPS it would remain smooth down to 30/40 FPS? Not so at all. There is no difference between this and my old monitor besides the fact that it can go up to 144hz. 
    Secondly everytime I turn on the monitor, it goes black and says no signal and then proceeds to launch at 800:600 resolution, flicker black, 1920:1080, flicker again and arrive at 2560:1440. Sometimes it wont ever receive a signal and my second monitor will turn on instead and take place as primary monitor. 
    It is plugged into the Display port and is secure, as far as I can tell the chord is in good condition.
    And finally sometimes during gameplay, ableit rarely, I get random flickers of black screen for half a second here and there. When this occurs it happens about 3-4 times and then stops. Worrisome! 
    Part of me hopes that I have a terrible, broken and faulty monitor and could get a replacement. Because then I wouldnt try to justify why I spent nearly $1,000 dollars before tax for this thing. But then the other half of me would not even want to get a replacement because of how big of a let down this one has been. I'd rather just never have bought this one at all and have my money back. 
    Any help or suggestions are appreciated. If anybody has had similar problems please speak up!!

    Booserbob,
    If you are willing, I would like to see about having a new Display Port cable sent out to see if that resolves it. If it does, I would be interested in obtaining the cable you received with the monitor, I have been trying to get one from a customer having this issue with no success as of yet. If you are interested, send me a PM (private message) with the following information and I will get to work on it:
    Serial number:
    Contact name:
    Contact number:
    Email address:
    Shipping address:
    Purchase date:
    Resolution attempting to use:

  • ACE 4710 - need help configuring backend server monitoring

    Currently running an ACE 4710, which is handling all of our inbound SSL connections and then forwarding requests thru
    to backend web servers. This all works fine.
    My question is this..Right now we are not load balancing any of the backen web servers. But I now have a requirement that should
    a web server crash or become unavailable I need to redirect that backend connection to another web server.
    Scenario is more like I have 2 web servers both serving same content, but I want one server to take all the connections unless it fails, at that point
    have all the connections forwarded to 2nd server.
    Is there a way to setup the load balancing where the 1st server gets all the connections until a failure happens ?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers

  • Need help indentifying the external monitor port on my MacBook 2,1 Notebook.

    I’m having trouble indentifying the external monitor port.Its larger than the newer ports that are on the later MacBook and MacBook Pro it has 2 rolls of teeth and is taller then the later models. I would like to buy an adapter to hookup another monitor but nobody seems to know what i'm talking about. My Model is a MacBook 2,1  with an 2.16 Intel core duo.
    It is a white model. Below is a phot of the port.. Any help would be great...
    Thank you

  • Need help finding a good monitor for a Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0)

    Hi
    I've owned Macs since the 90's - the past 7 years have been using Imacs...  I'm going to purchase a Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0) with the Nvidia 6600LE card.  Whats a decent monitor for it?  It's DVI output only as far as I can tell - I want at least a 22 or 24 inch monitor and want a fairly inexpensive one as I'm a poor man (Social Security disability).  Can anyone suggest one - I can't tell what screen resolutions are optimal for the card (googled till my eyes hurt) if I knew that I could start hunting CompUSA, Sams Club, etc.

    Check out newegg.com. I just got the same G5 you have this past summer and a couple months ago finally decided it was time to ditch the old 21" CRT Viewsonic Ive been using for years.
    I picked up a 21" Acer widescreen HD LCD on sale for $119.00 from newegg and could not have been happier..
    Ive never bought anything from Acer before but its so far got no complaints from me other then, the DVI cable they give you is the wrong type to use with your G5's video card. Lucky for me it had a DVI-VGA adapter so I could get running. Its running just fine at 1900x1200 without any dual link DVI connecter.
    One thing I like about newegg is you get to read user reviews and they are not afraid to tell you if something is bad. Theyve always got different models and brands rotating on and off sale so check em out and make sure you check the reviews and you can find a killer deal.
    I think the Viewsonics I looked at in the same size were around $199 or so.. I wouldve got one but Im a broke and jobless kinda guy nowadays so had to get one as cheap as I could..

  • Need help in connecting Dell Monitor to Dell Inspiron

    I recently purchased an Inspiron 17R laptop to reduce the high usage of my Precision M6600 laptop. A Dell U2312HM monitor was used with the Precision as a second monitor and I want to use it with the newly acquired Inspiron system as a second monitor. The video ports differ on both of these computers and I have not been successful in getting the monitor to work with the Inspiron. While the Precision uses an older VGA connection, the newer Inspiron uses an HDMI connection. To further complicate the issue, the monitor has several ports for connecting to a video output source which includes VGA, DisplayPort, DVI and ports for upstream and downstream USB connections, but not including HDMI. I used a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable in attempting to connect the Inspiron to the monitor but could not produce a picture on the monitor screen. This monitor continues to respond correctly when attached to the Precision via the VGA cable & port so I'm confused as to why I've had no luck in tying the monitor to the new system with the DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. How can the Inspiron 17R be successfully connected to the Dell U2312HM monitor?

    Computer HDMI out cannot upconvert to a monitor DP (DisplayPort) in using a straight cable.
    What you bought is designed to do the opposite =
    Computer DP out to monitor HDMI in
    Regardless of port, you will only ever get 1920x1080 on the U2313HM. Return that cable. Purchase an HDMI to DVI cable =
    Computer HDMI out --> HDMI to DVI cable --> U2313HM DVI in

  • Need help connecting Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro

    What is the best way to connect a Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5 to maximize the resolution 2560 x 1440? I was using a VGA adapter on my old Viewsonic monitor that hooked into the Thunderbolt port, I think. When I use my old adapter with the new Dell monitor, it stops my Mac from responding and the monitor says it has no DVI connection. When I unplug the adapter from my Mac, it starts working again.  I'm not very good with all these port options and descriptions so talk real slow, please.

    1 Dual Link Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) with HDCP
    1 DisplayPort 1.2 (DP)
    1 High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
    1 Video Graphics Array (VGA)
    1 USB 3.0 upstream port
    4 USB 3.0 downstream ports
    Thank you!

  • Need help on Dead line monitoring

    Hi,
    I am facing some problem with deadline monitoring.
    We have a workflow in which i have used latest end to trigger deadline monitoring.Its working fine.
    I have to set a condition like whenever the amount is less than or equal to 10000usd,then only we should trigger the deadline message.
    Please suggest how to do this?
    I have tried using conditions tab.But its not working.
    Thanks.

    I think you made some typo's. You say the task goes to the first approver when the amount is greater than ( > ) 25000 usd (twenty five thousand US dollars). after a deadline has passed the amount should be checked and if it is equal or less ( <= ) than 10000 usd (ten thousand US Dollars) then it should go to the second approver. How would this be possible?
    But if your equations are valid and you just missed a zero or something use a modeled deadline. Do the necessary checks there and take the appropriate actions (like do nothing or end the current workitem and go to the second approver).
    Although I don't know why I answer this, because you already marked the problem as solved, so I take it you solved it already.
    Regards,
    Martin

  • Need help fom my imac, monitor impression?

    it is almost running out my imac apple care, and in some light condition it seems to me to se the dock on boot screen... but if i use a white background and maximum brightness i can't always see it
    i can't really tell what can be, but my options are...
    i see it only after my mac get stuck and i have to reboot, usually happen with the screen turning light gray, as at boot and i have to keep the power button down to shut and the reboot
    the second option could be ambient light, at night you can not see it, but you can see more with bright day and no direct light... some times not that much
    i can't understand

    If your Apple Care is still running, contact Apple Care as soon as possible.
    My LCD recently had a problem and the LCD screen was replaced. Your problem sounds different but it's worth phoning Apple Care and sorting it out.

    *"how I can set up ARD do that I can control their internet usage"*
    Sorry, but you can't. That is not a feature of ARD, even when you manage Macs with it. The only thing you can do with a PC with ARD is control and observe it, and that requires a VNC server be installed on the PC.
