liamloveslearning Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hey everyone, I've just watched this vid tut on how to position content using css rather than tables (as ive had a lot of people telling me I should be using this method); the video is here " Now the guy in the vid is saying I use AP Divs; and that you set its position using the css elements; hes using px's to depict (sp?) the contents position but one thing that gets me is how do you get it bang in the centre? also if It was centred on my resolution would it not be different on somebody else's screen? i apologize if this is a really amateur question but I really need to understand this Thanks anyone!

TheFilmGod Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 margin: 0 auto 0 auto; This translates to: Margin top/bottom: 0px Margin left / right = auto = center! You can also float things. In a way, this is the opposite of centering, since it "pushes" a block (div) to the right or left. ie. float: left; It gets complicated, so be vary.

dbrimlow Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Take a browse here: http://css.maxdesign.com.au/ This site, while a little dated, helped many of us when we first started using CSS. The floatutorial will give you a beginner's eye view of the beauty of floating elements. The selectutorial is a must learn to understand the rules and how/whys of css. And what can be accomplished using lists is mind-boggling!
