Post subject: Centering Website on all Monitors Archived from groups: microsoft>public>frontpage>programming (more info?)
I am trying to be the Webmaster for our church. Our website works pretty
well but the number one complaint that I get is how it appears on their
screen. With all of the wide screen and high resolution monitors out there
now. How do you make you website appear first of all in the middle of the
screen on all monitors and can the text or font size change for different
resolution.
thanks for any help, this dummy can use all he can get!!

You do the first task by building the page in a fixed width, centering
container - that'd be either a div or a table. There is no way you can
prevent the text from being resized by the visitor, but I don't think you'd
want to make it resize automatically.
And by the way, there is no resolution issue involved here - the issues you
describe are all related to the browser viewport width on any resolution. A
given web page will look exactly the same on all resolutions provided the
browser viewport width is kept the same.

Thanks Murray.
I think I'm going to start over. Trying to make my current site do that may
be more than I want at this point.
Thanks again for the quick response
