Quick question about making a site

[Toro]

I'm pretty sure it's possible but I can't remember the way, but can you center a AP Div so that it stays center aligned on the page no matter how big the window is?

 

[antilabs]

set the left position to 50% and the margin-left to -(half the width).


so if it's 800px wide, you set the left position to 50% and the margin-left: -400px.

Is that margin?

my bad.. yes margin

I tried that and it didn't work, I think I'm doing it wrong tho. Are you able to put AP Divs inside the wrapper div? I feel hella stupid, I haven't done shit with websites in hella long ha.

 

[Kayne]

what you mean with AP divs? but yea you can place what you want inside your wrapper.. the wrapper div should be like this..

css:

#wrapper
{
width: your with;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
}

What I'm saying is like, I got 4 things in 4 separate AP divs like so:

(theres one more below that)
But the problem is with AP divs (I think) is that they don't automatically center with the page when you change the browser window's size larger. So I tried putting the AP Divs into the wrapper div but that still ain't working. I know there's a way to do this not with AP divs and still get the same effect but I'm not the best with making sites.

I don't build much sites anymore but I know you can center CSS using a container.

Place all your other divs inside the container making the alignment/positioning relative then in your CSS make the container center aligned. I think if you add those it should center everything up. Thats what I have done in the past with CSS Layouts.

You got a live site we can look at?

 

[Kayne]

The way i showed should place the site in the middle allways. Ill check this tomorrow.

 

[Kayne]

would be best if you could post the site or the code. maby you put a height on your wrapper, that wont work.

 

[swheat]

* {
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
#wrapper{
margin:0 auto;
}

i dont know what AP is..

if you have a dev area for me to inspec it would be e z r but the above code will center the main div that is if your main div id = wrapper.
