I am designing a new website and using Homestead Site Builder LPX. I am not very fluent with HTML... I know enough to do the normal tasks and just enough more to get into trouble sometimes. I know nothing about Javascript or any others. My problem I am having involves centering the web pages in the browser window. My old site I created with Yahoo Site Builder allowed me an option to center the entire page in the window and I like that look.<br />
<br />
I want to do that with my new site, but of course it is using the default left justify. That is fine, but not what I want it to do. I want all the pages to automatically center in a window no matter what size it is. Isn't this possible to do? If so, I would love some help on how to accomplish it. I really do appreciate any opinions or advice. Thanks in advance!!

Hmmm... I'm not sure how the Sitebuilders work, but if you can set the page margins to "0", do that and then set your tags to look similar to this:<br />
<br />
<html><br />
<head><br />
<title>Page Title</title><br />
</head><br />
<body><br />
<div align="center"> <br />
The content of your page.<br />
</div> <br />
</body><br />
</html><br />
<br />
That should center the page. The other option would be to include a CSS bit in the head. It would read, I think, as:<br />
<br />
<style type="text/css"<br />
body { margin: 0; text-align: center; }<br />
</style><br />
<br />
The <div> tag alignment is still valid, sort of, depending on what doctype you're using, but it's on it's way out the door in html. Oh, and you might have to add a second line to the style<br />
<br />
p { text-align: left; } <br />
<br />
That should put the paragraphs as left aligned, rather than centered.<br />
<br />
Does that help?<br />
<br />
Peg<!--content-->Thank you very much!!! I posted that same question to a few other boards only to get bashed for using Homestead and a site builder in the first place. I didn't really need that since I am not a computer whiz, but I do enjoy designing my own website. This seems to be the only way for me to do it without getting myself in over my head! LOL!<br />
<br />
I will try your suggestions and see what works. I believe I have tried the CSS bit and it didn't work given the configuration of the sitebuilder itself. I can add in HTML to the <head> portion of the site, but I can't exactly say where it gets placed. Does that make sense? I will try and mess with it a bit and see what happens. Maybe if I am really into having the pages centered, I may have to really get into learning to do more of the work myself rather than to use a sitebuilder program. Thanks again for the help... it is much appreciated!<!--content-->
