Alignment Issues

[JeanieTallis]

I have a website, www.myvee.co.uk On most computers and OS and browsers it all works and its centred. Though some aint centred, its shifted to the right the whole thing.

I have serious issues with getting it all in place, I end up putting div layers ontop of div layers, which isn't the answer to a clean CSS.

This is my css code, it's possible I know it is, that youcan centre the whole thing, the text shouldn't be centred  it should look like it does on the link

www.myvee.co.uk

 

Except centred compeltely no matter on the machine, system and browser.

This is my css style code

Basically you need to make a <div> that will have all other elements within it, for these purposes it's called wrapper, so for example:

 

<div id="wrapper">

// all your other content and divs etc go here

</div>

 

div#wrapper {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 800px; // Whatever width you want
}

I already tried that, it ends up like this

Dont trust the preview DW produces. Always test in a proper browser. You should test your pages in IE, FF, Safari etc.

 

Also in order for auto margins to work make sure you have set a valid doctype at the start of your page.

I changed it, I added the top bit (banner bit) and the body as two div's, so I set them both, but they actually are the same div tag, but seperate. Which shows it alot better, though, on my mums pc, its better than it was, but its still shifted to the right. If there anything wrong with the code, or could it be a cache cookie and temporary internet file problem?

Don't have two wrapper DIVs, open it after your body tag, and end it before your closing body tag.

 

You may also want to consider removing my comment in the CSS file after the width - and remember to replace it with the width that you wish to have it set to (I just chose a random number).
