Hi

 

Ok this is really starting to get on my wick!

 

I have a style sheet setup as follows

 

body {

margin-top: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;

text-align: center;

font-family: Verdana,Arial,serif;
font-size: 10pt;

}


#main {

position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 1024;
height: 100%;

}

#header {

position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 1024px;
height: 148px;

}

#navbar {

position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 1024px;
height: 35px;

}

#login_join {

position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;

}

#main_body {

position:relative;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 1024px;
height: 100%;

}

#tabs {

position: absolute;
top: 148px;
left: 0px;
width: 1024px;
height: 30px;
text-align: center;

}

#content {

position: absolute;
top: 200px;
left: 0px;
width: 1024px;
height: 100%;
text-align:center;

}

h1 {

font-size: 12pt;
font-weight: bold;

}

a {

color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;

}

a:hover {

color: #00000;
text-decoration: underline;

}

.title1 {

font-weight: bold;
font-size: 10pt;

}

.title2 {

font-size: 8pt;
color: #000080;

}

.text1 {

font-size: 8pt;

}

#latest_news_title {

position: absolute;
top: 19px;
left: 115px;
color: #000000;
font-weight: bold;

}

 

all is well and good! Everything lines up like it should bla bla... now , my client wants the whole thing in the middle of the screen. Ok, so i thought id put <div align="center"></div> around everything...did it work? NO! i tried setting up a new tag #outer which aligned the content to centre, did it work? NO!

 

Any ideas? Its really doing my head in

I'll assume you are talking about this site?  If so, on #main you need to remove position: absolute; and give it margin: 0 auto;

 

When I did this it messed up some other elements within the site.  This is being caused because you have assigned several elements position: absolute;, you will need to remove those.
