Centering page content

Dec 4, 2012 11:09 AM

I have a site where my content (banner, navbar, content box, etc) is all fixed.  When I preview and scale the browser window the background image (1366 x 768 no-repeat cover) will stretch but the content is fixed to the left.  I would like all my content and divs to stay in the center when i stretch but I have so many divs inside divs that the usual method of setting the width to 90% and 5% on the left and right margins is difficult to achieve.  Is there a way to place all my page content inside 1 div that i can keep centered?

    The page is currently not published to the web, it is still local.

    Answers to layout questions are contained in your code.  The fastest way to get help here is to upload your page and dependant files to a TEST folder on your remote server (or another web space you control) and post the URL. 

     

    When your question is answered, you can remove the TEST folder from your server.

    Ok I manageded to upload a .rar of my site to the old website here http://www.orderofmerchants.com/dreamweaver-test.html.  The page is home.html.  Ignore the scrollbar issue.

    Please just upload your home.html, images, CSS & scripts to a test folder without compressing them first.   We need to see the page in our browsers.

    My old site (weebly) only allows me to upload individual files, I've uploaded the home.html file but uploading everything individually will be too extensive.  The only way I can upload it is through compression.

    I don't need to see everything.  I just need to see one example HTML page with the corresponding CSS.  2 files shouldn't be any big deal to upload.

     

    A less preferred 2nd option is for you to copy & paste your HTML & CSS code into this web forum using the advanced editor > Syntax highlighting > Plain.  Do not use email for this, it won't come through.
