    Easy way to center HTML page...

    Can you guys tell me how to center a html page. The page below looks ok in 800 by 600 but looks off if you use 1024 by 768 or higher. Haw do I make it center regardless of resolution.

    html code:

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>test</TITLE>
    <META NAME="description" CONTENT="test">
    <BASE TARGET="_top">
    <STYLE TYPE="text/css">BODY {margin-left:0; margin-right:0; margin-top:0;}</STYLE>
    </HEAD>

    <BODY SCROLL="auto" BGCOLOR="#000000" TOPMARGIN=0 LEFTMARGIN=0>

    <DIV ID="idElement1" style="position:absolute; top:88px; left:233px; width:324px; height:233px;"><IMG SRC="up-trailer_park_boys.jpg" NAME="idElement1Img" ID="idElement1Img" WIDTH=324 HEIGHT=233 BORDER=0></DIV>



    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    A quick and easy way is like this:

    <Center>
    <DIV ID="idElement1" style="position:relative; top:88px; width:324px; height:233px;"><IMG SRC="up-trailer_park_boys.jpg" NAME="idElement1Img" ID="idElement1Img" WIDTH=324 HEIGHT=233 BORDER=0></DIV>
    </center>

    Otherwise, there's no real way to have a "center" option for a div quite like that.. especially if you're using "absolute" as a position setting.

        </BODY>
        </HTML>
        try...


        Code:
        <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
        
        <HTML>
        <HEAD>
        <TITLE>test</TITLE>
        <META NAME="description" CONTENT="test">
        <BASE TARGET="_top">
        
        </HEAD>
        
        <BODY style="background-color:#000000; margin:0px; padding:0px;">
        
        
        <DIV ID="idElement1" style="text-align:center;">
        	<IMG SRC="up-trailer_park_boys.jpg" NAME="idElement1Img" ID="idElement1Img" style="width:324px; height:233px; border:0px;" />
        </DIV>
        
        
        </BODY>
        </HTML>

        tip... don't CAP everything... and don't double up on styles.

          Actually, you might want to add a width:100%; to the DIV tag...


          Code:
          <DIV ID="idElement1" style="text-align:center; width:100%;">
