How do I get my website to center in all web browsers and in all resolutions?

Question

I am using Frontpage 2003.

I want my site to adjust to whatever the viewers resolution and browser (screen size).

Answer 1

daa has it right! A div container is the way to go. The tag is deprecated and is not to be used. People who still use this tag are either newbies are people who have no idea how to properly code to meet HTML 4.01 Standards.



Deprecated tags are used with the Transitional DOCTYPE only and that does means transitional...that you plan to update your pages to Strict or higher. New web standards are expected out soon: HTML 5.0 along with CSS3. It may be some time before browser developers catch up, but code your pages properly and you'll be ready with less work.





For some older browsers that don't recognize auto, add:



text-align: center;



Although this says text-align, the style attribute will align a lot more than just text if used correctly. When you have to use it, you may want to add a content/text div container after the page container to reset text-alignment to left if that is what you want other than centered. It's always a good idea to set an inner container for contents anyway.

Add a wrapper div:

/* Your page content */

Now in your stylesheet, give it a percent width and auto left and right margins:



#wrapper {

width: 80%;

margin: 0 auto;

}
