For display issues you need to post the URL to the offending online page(s)
so we can see the problem.

Hi again Rob

You're using *absolute* positioning! What'd you expect?

Centering is a *relative* relationship. There are countless ways to achieve your
objective, and you picked one of the very few that overtly eliminates nearly all
likelihood of success.

Hi Karl ,,, what is the best way to go about this or does it involve to
much for you to explain
and is it just a case of me learning for myself trial and error as i go
along.
thanks cliff .

Well, sorry if that sounded harsh. But the bottom line is, if you want to center
something you tell it to be centered. If you want it at (X,Y), well, you tell it to
go there. Actually the latter is far harder. The old school way of centering a
graphic, just as you seem to want, right in the middle of the page is somethign like
this:

<table width=100% height=100%>
<tr>
<td align=center valign=center><img src=...></td>
</tr>
</table>

But tables just aren't "cool" anymore, I'm afraid. (Not that I'd ever let that stop
me! <g>)

Dont apologise ,,,, even the horizontal line is to the left ,,, it is set
for centre and not on absolute position .
any thoughts or is this still to do with the same problem
thanks cliff .

I don't see a horizontal line, except under "enter", on that page? Ahhh, if I click
the enter link, yeah... Same problem.

<div style="position: absolute; top: 118; left: 12; width: 1031; height: 19">

You've set an absolute width, and it's being honored.

That's how I did it, yeah. <g> Not sure that's the best way, though. Most powerful
learning tool available on the web is View-Source.
