How to center the web page in the screen?

trehook · External Since: Apr 21, 2009 Posts: 1

In Dreamweaver select the code view to look at your actual code.
Find your table (<table>). Inside the table tag you probably see
something like: <table align="center"> or some similarity. Next to
maybe try to add this:
<table valign="middle" align="center">. If middle doesnt work then try
center as I dont remember off hand which one it is. But "align=" is
for horrizontal alignment and "valign=" is for vertical alignment.
maybe that will work for you.
I might be wrong about the above. valign may not work in the actual
table but instead in the <td>. Sorry if I'm confusing you.
Below is a working example.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"
height="100%"><tr><td align="center" valign="middle">
<table border="1" width="300"><tr><td>Hey look at me! I'm in the
middle!</td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>

Then why don't you look up and read what he has actually said? Or is your
problem in basic comprehension?

Try here:
http://www.textndata.com/articles/web-design/center-pages-pubsligher-2...-a-3375
...where it is explicitly stated that the <center> tag goes after the <body>
tag, and an additional </center> tag is required at the end, which is not by
any means what you have said - and also, correctly, that the <center> tag is
deprecated and may not work. That was in 2004!

Not to mention this http://www.justskins.com/forums/center-89946.html where
he explicitly says DON'T put the <center> tag outside of the <body> block.

And here's another one, from 2005:
http://www.textndata.com/articles/web-design/my-site-posted-now-34953/
See the third message down.

Unfortunately it seems the original page isn't around any more, but it's
hard to see how much more convincing anyone might need that it didn't
recommend David's approach.

Hi Don/Spike,

I am working with MS Publisher 2003 and I replaced </head> with
</head><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"
width="760"align="center"><tr><td>
as suggested by you and Spike. But this is not replaced in the file.

I am new to this and the file type created by Publisher is:pub not html. I
am not even able to save or open it as html file. Any advice how to make
this work?

Thanks

Amy,

Publisher creates the htm files and to view them you use IE (or other
browser). Publisher will open only .pub files.

The </head> changes are done in the htm files; by opening the htm files with
Notepad but it is easier to use the ReplaceInFiles program.

Post your site address so we can take a look at what is happening.
