hello everyone,  
dont know much about dreamwever mx, but ive used layers to put together my site.  
these layers create div tags in the html.

im trying to get these layers to be in the very center of the browser for whatever resolution the user is running. (the image on the splash page is top left, id like it to be dead center)

anyone know what tags to use for this?

also, on the main page, i would like everything to be in the absolute center, as well as the absolute top.

please help!

thanks!

EDIT: I’m sorry, i posted this in the wrong section. I meant to post in client side, can a mod move it please?

hey thanks so much to both of you!

vulcan that simple code worked like a charm for my splash page, cheers!

for the main page though, its all div tags, can i stick all that in the table \<td\> tag?  
if you view source on my main page youll see what a mess it is  
right now its just pushing every div tag (layer) to the right

another great solution?..maybe? 😊

Ha ha ha what a mess… 😃

I dont know of a easy way to centre it so as far as I know you are screwed…

I had a play with it, I attached what I got…

I would have just posted the html, but it is too many characters…

Hey…

But all the rollovers are seperate images… How can you get them all centred ?

Wait let e guess… centre it, and then minus half the image size and the space you want… Or add that to the other side.
