New to design  centering layers and images?

Making my first webpage. LOL  I know I am way behind the times.  I understand that I should make a layer the size of the page and put other layers into them.  Ok so I am trying but I dont know how I can center layersso that they are seen in the middle of the page.  Or images the same way. Anyone help me with that?

I know I am way behind the times.  I understand that I should make a layer the size of the page and put other layers into them.
It doesn't matter being way behind the times, but whoever gave you that information was totally off the wall. Layers (or absolutely positioned divs) are totally the wrong approach, particularly if this is your first effort at web design. Please read the following article about web page layout and the problem with "layers".

  • I have recently designed a website and images do not show up with Safari 5.1 on my mac

    I am running 10.6.8 and when my web page loads none of the images load or only a couple and it seems like it completely forgets about them because they will align to the left. it is fine on other versions of Safari, Firefox and ie but only with this update. When i hit the refresh button it will then show my images. Is it not reading my css or something like that?
    Any help with greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari. See if that helps...
    And make sure: Display images when the page opens is selected in Safari / Preferences - Appearance.

    I'm using Photoshop CS6, created a new document. trying to use my layers and my work keeps going black. when I click on the workspace  i am able to see my work but when I move my mouse any little bit it goes black again.

    Good day!
    Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

  • Dreamweaver CS3 - Cannot create root and image folder in Site Management. (Create New Site)

    Good day everyone,
    I am not able to create folders for a new site in Dreamweaver CS3.
    This is the problem:
    I open Dreamweaver
    I go to site and click on create new site
    In the new site panel I name the site eg: Test Site
    Then I click on the browse folder to attached a root folder and image folder for the site
    This is where the problem starts, when I browse to the folders, Dreamweaver does not keep the location/path.
    Like this: My folder is created in the following directory.
    C:\xampp\htdocs\my_site_folder
    So when I browse to this folder and click save
    the path does not stay in Dreamweaver, all the stays is this.
    C:\xampp\htdocs\
    The site name does not remain.
    I cannot get Dreamweaver to hold the path.
    Same for the image folder.
    I noticed this started to happened after I updated Vista to Service pack 2.
    I have never seen this happen before.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Patrick

    Mounting of externals where you are giving the command to delete images will certainly make a difference. Don't know if that's part of your problem or not, but in general, LR doesn't always do well with the X followed by Cmd-Delete (Mac)- sometimes it will say there aren't any, and I'll just repeat and there they are. I have tended to delete after a session, so never deleted more than say 50 images at once.
    I'd continue deleting all you have so marked, then go through and hook up images with the ? mark, followed by deleting the Previews folder if the first two steps don't help. This latter is radical, but sometimes the Previews folder gets frazzled. What size .lrcat and what size Previews folder?

  • New MBP 15" Retina Crashes Daily, Locks-up and Distorts Text and Images.

    Why is my new (2 weeks old) MBP Retina 15" crashing and locking-up about 3 to 6 times a day, even while using native programs like Safari?  I have all software updates.  Also, today the graphics card completely freaked out resulting in distorted text and images.  This occured while in Safari.  My hourly reboot did repair display distortions, but it occured again later in the day !

    If you're within 14 days of taking delivery, exchange it or return it for a refund. Otherwise take it in for warranty service.

  • Continue using Web & Design Premium CS6 and need new serial number

    I have Web & Design Premium CS6 and i want to continue the use of this program, were can i find or buy a unlimited serialnumber?
    Thanks,
    Bas

    When you buy CS6 and are given a serial number to install and activate, my understanding is that you already have an "unlimited" serial number
    EXCEPT... I read a message recently about a "free" Education install that had a serial number that expired Adobe CS6 valid serial number downgraded to tryout
    Why do you think that your serial number needs to be replaced?

  • How do I leave editable text and images in a PDF?

    I recently bought a flyer template and it came as an editable PDF.  Here is one of the templates http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
    Every field, both text and graphic object, is fully editable in the free Adobe reader.  I have Acrobat X and have tried all the methods of producing something like this but nothing has worked.  I wish to produce not just one page template PDFs that can be edited like the one above, but I also have a 20+ page magazine, which currently is distributed in PDF form and I wanted certain image and text fields within the magazine to be customisable too. 
    I design the magazine using InDesign and the exported pages are composed of 1 large background image with text fields laid over the top.  I have tried exporting it as an interactive PDF, ticking the layers option for Acrobat, but when I try to create an editable form (Tools>Forms>Create>Open file) it does not recognise any of the text fields at all.
    Can someone please help me before I slam my head repeatedly in a door?  I have been searching for a solution for so long and I'm getting rather frustrated.
    Thank you in advance
    Wendy-G

    Thanks for the replies I've had so far, but I really need some detailed help to sort this.
    I want to be able to create a PDF that has editable text and editable graphics over a background image, that can be edited in the free Adobe Reader, as per this item - http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
    I know this was designed in LiveCycle and I have LiveCycle and Adobe Acrobat Pro X, but LiveCycle is new to me.  I am a quick learner (I use Photoshop, InDesign, etc) and need help in getting started.
    I am willing to work with someone to help get this sorted but it is urgent that I get to grips with this.
    Thanks so much for helping

  • Centering a background image [was: How is this done.. what am I doing wrong....]

    Hi,
    I am kinda new to DW.  I have a .jpg that is 1000pixels wide and 1100 pixies tall which I want to use as the background for my site.  I want that image to be centered (not justified left).  Next I want two tables on top of that image.  The first one will be for my buttons/links and the second will be for any text and images that will appear below the buttons.
    I have got this to work in DW and it looks fine when I preview it in a browser.  However, after uploading it, my background image disappears and I get a question mark.
    http://test.taffyproductions.com/
    Also, both my tables are centered, but the background image is not.
    Thanks to anyone that can help.
    Gary
    [Subject line edited by moderator to make it clear what the question is about]

    This file is 404 - not found on server.
    http://test.taffyproductions.com/_images/Taffyhome.jpg
    Did you upload it to the server?  BTW I'm not too keen on using a leading underscore in file or folder names.  Why not just name it "images?"
    Finally, trying to precisely align images and text over a huge background image is very challenging. It works in Print design but isn't an ideal way to work with web pages. Be sure to test your site often in all browsers and available text sizes.  You may be in for some big surprises if you don't.
    To center a page background with CSS:
    body {
    background: url (path/filename.jpg) no-repeat center top;
    Good luck,

  • InDesign... invisible shapes and images

    I have a 100 page book and I just noticed I have many missing rectangle shapes and images. I copied and pasted a vector file in the program, could that have caused it? I really need help trying to fix this problem.... The layers are still there but their just invisible 
    Thanks

    Looking at the new screen shot the selected rectangle is centered on the spine and has no witdh or height (look at the values in the control panel) which would explain why it is invisble.
    Can't tell you how it got that way, though, but I think the file is now probably corrupt. See Remove minor corruption by exporting and be prepared to delted and recreate these rectangles.

  • One design for computer and mobile

    Hi, i'm kind of a nubie to Muse CC, but love what i've seen so far...so much so that i also purchased a one-year subscription to muse-themes.com, in order to download a theme that would give me a head-start with a new portfolio site i have to do for myself.
    Just to explain why i'm only a noob to Muse CC, but not to web-design as a whole:
    I have used the Creative Suites for many, many years, and before that used Photoshop and Dreamweaver to "hand program" my sites, so i'm an HTML veteran of 15 years...no experience with Javascript or anything like that, but i've done my own sites from scratch since the old Netscape days.
    Back to my issue/question:
    After modifying the template i downloaded from muse-themes.com and doing a first few hours of customization on it (some text, headers and images) and using business catalyst to preview what i've done, and quite liked it for a first start, but when checking the design on my iPad, i discovered with disappointment that not only did it not show *any* of my customizations (only the original, generic theme design and content), but even then, menu items had weird glitches, and the long scrolling content of the computer version didn't appear after the first couple of page-heights.
    Let's forget about the glitches for moment...my main question is:
    If a theme has been designed with Desktop, Tabel and Phone versions in mind, will i have to maintain content and all changes *separately* for all 3 platforms?! is there a way to "sync" changes between platforms...in other words, since Computer and Tablet versions should pretty much be exactly the same, can i have Muse automatically interpret what i do for the Computer version *also* for the Tablet version? i do understand that the Phone version should get special attention, but even then, shouldn't text and header changes "trickle down" through all versions of the site?
    Am i doing something wrong here, or is building 3 separate versions independently really what i am expected to do?
    I keep seeing many references to "responsive UI designs"...is this why people work on one responsive design, rather than on 3 separate versions, or are those issues not really related?
    Excuse my naive questions, but i have a difficult time believing that Muse CC, and/or a custom theme, purchased from a reputable 3rd party company (such as muse-themes), would require me to maintain 3 websites for 3 device platforms, with no "communication" between the 3 during the design process...there must be a way to "sync" my changes/updates, or is this really so?
    Just to illustrate what i am talking about, here is the first revision of the theme i purchased:
    http://kruegervp.businesscatalyst.com/index.html#top

    Hope I can help here .....
    The first issue is most likely a Business Catalyst caching issue that pops up occasionally. Or it could be that the original template had a Tablet view done and that is what you are seeing instead of the desktop view.
    Yes, you will need to maintain content seperately on the different views. This is actually a good thing in my opinion as you likely won't want all the same content on all three.  As for the responsive sites, while yes you do have to only update once it also can take a much longer time to develop to get consistant results. With the so many different browser widths now it is getting more and more difficult to display the site consistantly and properly.
    So while one may be more to update it is much less to develop and the other is much more to develop but less to maintain. It works out in the end.
