Please shoot me! - 3/9/2006 11:58:16
I have reached my limit. Before I continue please realize that I have no prior web design knowledge before joining this forum. I have learned a lot but am still a complete noob, so that being said please excuse my "dumba$$ness".
I have a centered table and w/in it different things. I have a 21'' wide screen moniter so when I change the work space size the table stays centered just fine..... my problem is everything else! I have done everything i can think of and read a bunch of other posts. help before i throw every computer product I own out of a 2nd floor window!

That's a fairly wide ranging problem!!
Can you upload it all to the web and post the URL so we can see - it's soooo much easier to sort stuff out that way.

Have you given your main table a width? If you made it 100% it will expand or contract according the size of the screen it is on. That is known as a fluid design. They are not suitable if you want elements to appear in precise locations. You would probably be better off using a fixed width table - 760 pixels is usually the standard, as this doesn't produce scroll bars on 800x600 resolution.
If you have a 21" monitor, you need to be very aware that what you are seeing, is not what most other people will see.

Well I have made the table a % width. The issuses I was having was that I have layers all over the place, and apparently you can't have layers in a cell. So I have to now figure out how to have a scrolling text box in the middleof a page w/o using layers....

tables was formerly used by most designers to control page layout... css/divs/layers are becoming more common but tables are still a good "tried and true" method especially for novices. it is my understanding that the 2 dont mix well - either lay out your page with tables (rows and column and cells) or css/div/layers. i could be wroong on that

but to center it
You could also do something like this:
<div align="center">
<center>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="300">
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</div>

Yes it is but if it's not contained in any other element (another divm table, etc.), it will center whatever is inside the <div> on the page.
Do you have a URL where you can show us which table is not centered?

ok here is the code... I cannot get this thing centered.
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div
{
background-color:#FFFFFF;
width:400px;
height:150px;
overflow: auto
}
body {
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-base-color: white;
scrollbar-dark-shadow-color: white;
scrollbar-track-color: white;
scrollbar-face-color: white;
scrollbar-shadow-color: white;
scrollbar-highlight-color: white;
scrollbar-3d-light-color: white;
}
</STYLE> </style>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<p>The overflow property decides what to do if the content inside an element exceeds the given width and height properties.</p></center>
<div align="center">
<center>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="350">
<tr>

OK, this is off topic, but can you tell us what this paragraph is about? I only recognize a word here and there; I don't know enough Latin to be really dangerous. So what is the subject of this web page?
(Please don't tell me it's just filler to hold a place for the real text someday!)
