Center Web Page in all Display Resolutions

G

What settings do I need for my website to be centered in
all display resolutions. I am using FP 2002, 17" LCD. My
display resolution is 800 x 600 and when I increase the
resolution it looks funky. I have seen other websites
where their website, viewed in the higher resolutions, is
simply centered instead of displaying all to one side like
mine.

Hi Joe,

I should have mentioned my website is already using shared
borders and tables within. I have 500 pages ...would I
have to do each page? Maybe there is a javascript I could
insert into the HEAD?

Thank you,

Agree Include pages are a better tool than shared borders

But you can have a "centered" page using left & right shared borders
- if you don't mind the 24 px spacer cells between the borders and the main page content

Make your main page a center aligned table of fixed width (based on content)
Make your left shared border a right aligned table of fixed width (based on content)
Make your right shared border a left aligned table of fixed width (based on content)



| With a left Shared Border the page will always align to the left of the
| browser window. A Right Shared Border will always align with the right of
| the browser window.
| Your only options are to:
| 1 - rebuild all pages using FP included pages instead of shared borders.
| All content, including "borders" can then go into a centred table.
| 2 - place the content of the pages into 100% tables [ <table width="100%"
| blah blah...>. This may make reading difficult due to long line length at
| higher resolutions/wider browser windows, but will eliminate white space to
| the right.
|
| The only way to use JavaScript would be to dynamically build your pages
| according to browser width - a long task with very little return for the
| effort.
