centering web page

R

Ronnie H

I am trying to make my web page [SocialGoals.com] look centered in the
browser screen, and have tried inserting the <center> tag after the <body>
tag, as per Mr Bartosik's website advice [thanks Mr B for your very valuable
tips and hints] - but that doesn't seem to work. I'm using Publisher 2000,
and my site is hosted by geocities, and I'm using their HTML editor.

You may want to reread Mike's instructions to make clear anything I may
leave out. I was using Mike's instructions for awhile but fixing every html
page got to be more than I wanted to put up with. Also, it works with pages
created with Publisher 2000, I don't remember if it applies to other
versions of Publisher.

Here is a sample inserting using Notepad set for html files of <center> AND
</center> from one of my pages.

<body bgcolor <= The "body" line could be so long it takes up more than one
line
<center> <= Put "<center> here, just before the "<a name=top>"
<a name=top></a>

Now go to the bottom of the same page

<a name=bottom></a>
</center> <= Put "</center> here, just before the "</body>"
</body>

This needs to be done to all of your html files.

Good luck,

Many thanks Don, but I have tried exactly that on my index page, and it
doesn't seem to work [http://www.geocities.com/socialpbonds.html], at least
not in my browser [IE5.0]. I have deleted my cached internet files so it
doesn't look as though my machine is reading an old version.

Perhaps try making your changes BEFORE you upload the pages to geocities as
Don suggested. One way is to open your HTML files that you generated from
Publisher with Notepad as Don suggested, make your changes and save, then
upload those modified files. DavidF

This is a direct quote/copy from David Bartosik's web site
http://www.davidbartosik.com/
It's the best resource for Publisher information on the net.
Note the reference on Publisher versions.

Q- Can I make my web page content look centered in the browser window?
A- This is done by centering the outer table, which cannot be done with
Publisher. You can accomplish this by adding a center tag to the file
yourself (only works in version 2000 and earlier). Publisher is not an html
editor so this editing must be done outside of Publisher. You can use
Notepad for html file editing. In this case you simply add <center> after
the <body> tag and then at the end add </center> in front of the </body>
tag. Remember that html edits like this done outside of Publisher will be
lost each time you have Publisher remake the page (i.e. Save as web page).

David Bartosik - MS MVP

Ron,
just looked at your source, the trouble is that you are using 2000 in it's
absolute positioning mode (standard in version 2002). So the absolutes
overrides the center tag.
Guess when I wrote that I assumed the reader followed "all" my advice.
I advise that under the browser target setting in 2000 that it be set to
3.0, the lowest setting.
That setting renders traditional html code, not the positioning code of
CSS2.
Change that, resave the web pages, add the center tag, and you'll be in
business.

It's the best resource for Publisher information on the net.
Note the reference on Publisher versions.

Q- Can I make my web page content look centered in the browser window?
A- This is done by centering the outer table, which cannot be done with
Publisher. You can accomplish this by adding a center tag to the file
yourself (only works in version 2000 and earlier). Publisher is not an html
editor so this editing must be done outside of Publisher. You can use
Notepad for html file editing. In this case you simply add <center> after
the <body> tag and then at the end add </center> in front of the </body>
tag. Remember that html edits like this done outside of Publisher will be
lost each time you have Publisher remake the page (i.e. Save as web page).

Did you open the html file with Notepad and do a save as an html file?

What version of Publisher are you using?

anything
I
may
leave out. I was using Mike's instructions for awhile but fixing
every
html
page got to be more than I wanted to put up with. Also, it works
with
pages
created with Publisher 2000, I don't remember if it applies to other
versions of Publisher.

Here is a sample inserting using Notepad set for html files of
<center>
AND
</center> from one of my pages.

<body bgcolor <= The "body" line could be so long it takes up more
than
one
line
<center> <= Put "<center> here, just before the "<a
name=top>"
<a name=top></a>

Now go to the bottom of the same page

<a name=bottom></a>
</center> <= Put "</center> here, just before the
Click to expand...
</body>

This needs to be done to all of your html files.

Good luck,

Thanks David; yes, I had used 4.0 as the browser target setting, thinking
[before I read your tip on page setup] that that was the way to widen my
page from the 600x480 pixels. Ok, the next time I upgrade my site I will
change that setting and I'm sure that will do the trick. Thanks to you and
other posters for your advice and also for your website which I know I'm
going to keep going back to.
Regards Ronnie H
ps, I'm less keen on centering, now that I realise that the ads that
geocities puts onto my free site appear only on the right hand side. They
don't interfere with my uncentered site....

Ron,
just looked at your source, the trouble is that you are using 2000 in it's
absolute positioning mode (standard in version 2002). So the absolutes
overrides the center tag.
Guess when I wrote that I assumed the reader followed "all" my advice.
I advise that under the browser target setting in 2000 that it be set to
3.0, the lowest setting.
That setting renders traditional html code, not the positioning code of
CSS2.
Change that, resave the web pages, add the center tag, and you'll be in
business.
