I have a web page designed very similiar to these: http://www.play.com/Campaign.html?campaign=7505&cid=6732484&campaigntag=Why and http://www.rightmove.co.uk/ however, it only appears to work in compatability view and not in standard view.

 

I have a CSS div which covers the whole screen with a grey background and then a wrapper at 1000px wide with a white background.

 

Can anyone tell me the prefered method of making a page like this?

Well

 

just set the background of body to gray.

body{
  background:#999;
}

 

than make a wrapper div with a fixed width and center it by using margin.

div#wrapper{
  width:1000px;
  margin:0 auto;  /* IE 5 needs text-align: center * /
  overflow: hidden;
}

 

Now i used overflow hidden there so it will shrink wrap around the inner elements of that container. more info on that trick can be found here.
