Hello
Am using Frontpage 2003. How do I get the web pages to center on the screen and not default to the left? I am using shared borders that has a table on default left. Then a table in the body. Each table property has Center for positioning, but there is a big gap between the shared border left and the body table. I want the whole site to just center on the screen. The code I have on the page is
<style><!-
body { text-align: center; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; color: #333333
a:link { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; color: #0000FF
a:visited { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt
input { font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10pt
button { font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt
--></style><meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tlb, default"></head>

As long as you are using shared borders, you can not center the web page,
use tables and the FP Include Page component or the new Dynamic Web Template
instead.

Arg! (slaps palm on forehead)

This is occurring because the FrontPage always specifies
width=100% on the tables that it creates for shared
borders. So, although

body { text-align: center

does center the table, it makes no difference because the
centered table is still just as wide as the browser window.

If you just want some margins, try:

body {margin-left:100px; margin-right:100px;}
or
body {margin-left:10%; margin-right:10%;}

However, your page will still vary in width for different
sized browser windows. If you want the centered page
layout to have a fixed-width, you'll need to use HTML
tables and either Include Page components or Dynamic Web
Templates, as Tom has suggested.
