Webpage does not centre when exporting with CSS and images

Aug 18, 2009 11:53 AM

When using the export tool for a mock-up website, I simply cannot get it to align the page to the centre... I have 100% told it in the export to put it to the centre, but it is always aligned left.

Am i missing something?!

    HTML and Images export will not center the layout. That feature only 

    works for the CSS and Images export. The fix is easy enough within 

    Dreamweaver, though.

    Also, the CSS Export can only center the page when it is NOT exporting in "absolute positioning mode."  If you see a warning dialog that objects have overlapping boundaries and that FW is switching to absolute positioning mode, then you need to adjust your design and layout to eliminate the layout conflicts before FW can export CSS and HTML that is not absloutely positioned.  (Overlap can involve rectangles, slices, text objects, and HTML component symbols where the boundaries of the objects cross one another.)

    Good point, Dave. I'm always trying to avoid that situation, so I 

    forget to mention it.

    Place the mockup in a div and add style rules to the div to center it.....

     

    How to center a page or a div is a frequently asked question over at the Dreamweaver forum, so an article has been posted to the DWFAQ
