Solved: centering whole website

How do I center my whole website so that it always appears in the middle of the browser window. I am using Microsoft Publisher to creat the website.

You can use center tags around the entire thing.

when i tried that, the page ended up being way on the right of the screen, also causing a horizontal scrool bar.

Set margins on the left and right.

<table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td>

</td></tr></table>

do you have it up on the server now and is the page accesible from the internet right now? If so just link them to the page and they will view the html

Inline frames, though a lot of web developers don't like them, do have their uses. However, I wouldn't recommend using one for the sole purpose of centering your page content. Some browsers don't support them. If you're looking for a simple, quick solution, you can place all your page content in a centered table instead.

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td>PLACE PAGE CONTENT HERE.</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>

You can set the table width to a specific number of pixels (like the 500 in my example) or as a percentage of the screen size.
