Moving web pages centrally?

[tommyboy]

How do I "centralize" my web page in my browser? if my print screen attaches mad look at the bbc page I took a shot of in Firefox, I just want it central and not over to the left, looks odd :S

anyone?

you create a div called 'container'

set its width to say 780px

then on your body properties set the margin: 0 auto 0 auto and the text-alight:center

all your website content goes withint the container div and everything will be centered!

I know what you mean, I hate when websites have it on the left, looks silly espeically on a 21-24"TFT.

They do it so that people with smaller screens can see the content better.

But on smaller screens wouldnt it look exactly the same if it was in the center?

depends on resolution? I'm no expert tbh

I try to avoid IE7. It's too slow compared to Firefox, plus I like my links across the top of the browser on Firefox

IE7 does that as well

I think it's highly underated, but if you like Firefox, good for you, I like it too, just prefer what I've got.
