Center Site

P

Paul Cahoon

I am trying to create a site that is an absolute 800 pixels wide. I want to
center it in the browser. I can do this with a table but I would like to
have some sort of shared border so that I can have a banner or menu that I
can update once and not have to update on every page. I guess this would
work similar to using frames but I want to avoid frames if at all possible.
Also, I cannot seem to get a frames page limited to 800 pixels. Same problem
with Shared Borders. Can anyone give me some direction on this? Thanks.

Use the FP Include Page Component.

Do not use Frames or shared borders.
Layout your page using a centred table set to a fixed width of 760px
(this is the widest that will fit an 800px wide browser window without
a bottom scroll bar).

Use the top row of the table for the banner, and, if required, the
left or right column for navigation.
The banner and navigation can be inserted on each page using include
files (See Help - Including one page in another) If you have FP2003,
look at using a Dynamic Web Template.

Thanks. The included page should do the trick.
