aren't you customizing the layout with HTML using that?
that might sound good if you are centering 1 page.. but wha if you are centering 100 pages? or maintaining 100 pages?

if you're using table-layout style then it's better to create a css class or id for the main table to be centre aligned. Simple example below:
in your HTML: <table class="mytable" width="800px"> .... </table> in your CSS file: body {text-align:center;} table.mytable {margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;} *************************************** Or you can put your table tags within a DIV: <div align="center"> <table> .... </table> </div> There are a few more techniques... google 'em.

Right click on this page and view source
 Or just save the the complete page to your hard disk and open with front page or dreamweaver

If the CSS is called from an external file..it is not possible to access it
opening in Dreamweaver is again editing in HTML not CSS rite? Checked the source, So much code...hmmph..but there isnt any text-align in the CSS part

Saving the complete page will save the CSS as well
Anyway, i see that this page uses <table width="760" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" ............. Isn't it better to start from scratch in Dreamweaver or FP... make a table, set the bg color to white, center align it. Then set the body background blue. That's a good start Last edited by yonghs; 03-12-2007 at 10:46 PM.

har? it saves the CSS also? i dun think so...
if u just link the CSS at head...u r hiding the CSS d What do you mean by start from scratch? i am already in the middle of it.. i use absolute positioning to position it in the center.. but the i stumble upon another solution which is setting margin, text-align on the CSS so i dunno which is the "umph" way of it

You have to save as "Web page, complete" for the CSS file and images to be saved as well.
Or if you use firefox, you can install the Web Developer add-on (Web Developer) ... you can view all CSS of any page easily ... it has lots of other features too. Btw, I think WMM uses only internal CSS (all CSS inside the HTML/PHP file), so that's y you can't see any external CSS files.

what do you mean by "...centering 100 pages? or maintaining 100 pages?".. ?
was that supposed to be a CMS? The easiest still using css div: example - #masterdiv { width: 770px; margin: auto; } then.. place this BEFORE the 1st table of your page. (after body tags perhaps) <body> <div id="masterdiv"> <table goes here...> ... and close div at the end of </div> </body> Most of the CMS, normally had header.php and footer .php file.. you only need to see closely both file.. and the css file too..

1 - You screw up your question.
2 - Don't make people more confused on what you doing / want to do. 3 - Have you tried any of suggested solution here?
