How can I center my entire webpage on the screen in FP?

[Guest]

Does anyone know of a way to do this? Im not talking about text or pictures
individually, but the page as a whole. Centered instead of left aligned.

Thanks for any assistance.

Use centered tables to layout your pages.

But you can not use themes or shared border and also then center the page.

Click and drag the title bar of the browser window until it is centered in
the screen.

Hm not really following. This is the page I'm trying to center across the
page instead of left align.

If you use theme, shared borders, absolute positioning (VML Graphics, which you are using) then you
will not be able to center your page, as the position would change based on the used browser window
size, etc.

Build the site within a table. Centre the table and make the width less than the
screen width - other posts suggest something like 750 pixels. or if you set a %
say 80%. (only a suggestion - you'll have to play around with it).

refer Tom Willett's reply -build a page within a TABLE then centre the table.

 

[Andrew Murray]

but you can do the layout (centred table) and then apply a theme, can't you? or
will it reset everything?
I thought themes just applied colours, bullets, backgrounds, horizontal lines and
nav bars in the particular design you choose; not interfere with your actual
layout of the page.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Not if using a theme that also uses shared borders or if using absolute positioning.
