you got a url for us to view please?

Also, the scrolling right means you have a fixed width of larger than your browser, an element that is bigger than you think or your width is declared at 101%+

Just guessing without seeing it in work.

To center, declare your body tag to align center.

Matt - I wouldn't worry too much about the need to right scroll. The minimum width of your site is about 940 pixels. I currently design sites to a standard size of 980 pixels, on the basis that they look better and approx 90% of PC owners use displays of 1024 pixels or wider. The 10% who still use 800 pixel displays are probably the least likely to purchase on the internet, or indeed purchase anything

Mark,

ok, that I can live with but how can I make the site centred at resolutions of more than 1024?

It just doesnt look right!!

Matt - unfortunately I don't use the Actinic templates, I design from scratch using CSS, so I'm not the best person to help. Hopefully someone else will happen along with an "Actinic specific" answer.

why not put <center></center> tags around the html body (or the css div equivalent if you prefer).

Thanks Mark and Hi Mark!!!

Where should I put the centre?

Matt

**wilts-ebiz** · 09-Nov-2007, 02:12 PM

Sorry, meant Hi Mike!!!

A long day so far!!!

An html page looks like this:

<html>
<body>
The content of the body element is displayed in your browser.
</body>
</html>

Put in the <center> tags like this:

<html>
<body>
<center>
The content of the body element is displayed in your browser.
</center>
</body>
</html>

the css equivalent is <DIV ALIGN=CENTER>

But this will center everything will it not?

If using this method, ensure your individual elements have an alternate layout or use this:

Code:

<body>
  <div id="container">
    ...entire layout goes here...
  </div>
</body>

then

body {
text-align: center;
}

#container {
margin: 0 auto;
width: xxxpx;
}

into your actinic.css

Yes, my way will center everything that doesn't have it's allignment specified. So if you do this be prepared to check everything is alligned correctly.

Darrens way sounds like a better approach.
