Centralising a page
How can you get a page to appear in the middle of your screen as a fixed size panel? e.g. http://www.guildfordymca.org.uk/
Thanks

Using table to centre your content on a web page
Hi Sara,
The most common method to achieve this is put all of your content into a single celled table. Then set the table properties to be aligned to the centre and a certain width (eg. 700px) or percentage (eg. 70%).
You may notice the code for the web site you pasted looks like this:
<table width="720" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
They have also turned off borders etc. so the visitor can't see that tables are used for the layout. To see a web page's code, in IE7 go to Page -> view source. In Firefox go to View -> Page source.
However, you may like to use the new CSS method, which is to put everything in a container (or DIV) which has similar centred and fixed/percentage width properties.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you achieve the result you're after.
Regards, Rich
