Positioning in the browser

I am designing a website where I want the content as a whole to be centrally aligned on the page so that it is in the middle no matter what size the user's monitor is.

 

At the moment I've got a toolbar which I can centralise, and I want to align some text with the left hand side of the toolbar. How do I do this? Because surely if I position it exactly with css using the distance in pixels, it will be different for different size monitors? The only other option I can think of is to make a table and put the toolbar in one <tr> and the text above it in the first <td> on the left.

 

Any suggestions would be welcome!

 

Thanks

the easiest way to get this done is to define a <div> with a set height and with

then, in your css you set the margin to 'auto'

 

thus, in your html:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
   <div id="test">
       some content
   </div>
</body>

 

and in your css

.test
{
   height: 600px;
   width : 600px;
   margin: auto;
}
