center drop down menu

Guest

I want to center my drop down menu but it doesn't align with my hyperlinks.

I am using layered tables for the drop down menu and they are positioned
absolutely so when i hover over my hyperlink it unhides the layered table.

All of this works when i have my page aligned to the left because my layers
that are positioned absolutely stay the same amout of distance for the left
and top. But when i center my page, the layers stay in the same position but
my hyperlinks move to the center.

How do i get my whole page to be centered and my layered tables to line up
with my hyperlinks?

Change this -

</head>

to this -

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { text-align:center; color:#CCC; }
#wrapper { text-align:left; width:720px; margin:0 auto;position:relative; }
-->
</style>
</head>

change this -

<body ...>

to this -

<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">

and this -

</body>

to this -

</div><!-- /wrapper -->
</body>

and see if that helps.

That code just changed my page from left aligned to right aligned. But the
positioning is aligned to the links properly. So i now can have a left
aligned page that works or a right aligned page the works.

How do i get it to the center?

If you did it right you would get a page that centers. Please post a link
to your page, and I'll tell you what is wrong....
