You should not use the CENTER tag. You should use CSS.

Unfortunately my CSS skills are not sufficient to say how to
do what you want with CSS.

If I absolutely position say an image, I can subsequently position something
relative to that image. However if I use <center> to position the image, I
don't seem to be able to relatively position something relative to that
image. How should I proceed if I wish to do that?

Try replace the center tag with some CSS and ask the question
in a HTML/CSS group.

It is not ASP.NET specific so ant HTML/CSS expert should be
able to help.

PS: The alternative to replacing the center tag is to put
on the asbestos suit.

Arne,

Yes, I did use css --- I used <center> once to position one element, and
positioned the subsequent element relative to the one centred element -
using css, I also used css for subsequent elements. However it doesn't work.
So now I am wondering, how, using CSS and relative positioning, you can
engineer the site in such a way that it centres when the screen is maximised
/ minimised.
Regards,

Zach.

OK.

PS Women don't want me dressed, and like the enter tag as it is.
