Making webpage in center of screen

[Mary]

Hi

I'm a bit of a newbie to building web pages with Frontpage.

How do I make the web page be in the center of the screen no matter
what resolution it is?

I built a page but it sits on the left side.

Any help appreciated

Hi Mary,

Why not use the entire screen no matter the resolution.

The easiest method it use a centered fixed width table that you design in.

<table align="center" width="780" >

Resolution only affects the maximum practical width you can set for your
browser window (the "viewport"). Obviously, any resolution screen can have
a browser viewport set to a width less than or equal to the maximum width
for that resolution. This means that what you need to be concerned about is
NOT the resolution, but rather the browser viewport width.

You can make a page be centered by building it within a centering element -
a table, or any other HTML 'container'.

If you create a new page, place a table on that page, and use FP to edit the
properties of that table, you will see that tables have a property called
"align". Set that property to "center", and you have achieved your goal.

Be aware that this is a very simple example - in real life, things can get
much more complicated....

Hi Mary,

The main reason why not would be that that's a complicated technique, and
she says that she's a newbie.

The easiest method it use a centered fixed width table that you design in.

<table align="center" width="780" >

And this is another, completely opposite technique, but at least you've
given her some direction.
