Centering Theme

Hi,

I downloaded the 1000AC theme and I want to modify it for my site. I was looking at the CSS file becuase i would like to center the website with margins on both sides. I opened up the style.css sheet and tried editing it

table {width: 100%; margin: 5; padding: 5; font-size: small;}

I changed the width to say 80% and it shrunk the page, however i do not know how to center it.

Can someone please help.


Thanks,

Derek

Get a copy of Top Style Lite it free and is easy to use to add CSS

not sure if you need

table {
    width: 100%;
    margin: 5;
    padding: 5;
    font-size: small;
    text-align: center;
}


Or you can center the content of a block in html

I'm pretty sure that last entry did nothing for you as it would only center the text. I had this very same problem and found no one to help. After hours of research I found this

Add the below in your body tag (NOT THE TABLE TAG).

margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;

Hope this works for your theme, and you should post your website so we can check up on how the site looks. Contact me personally if this does not work and we'll find a solution together.

try adding align: center; to your css file and see if that works

eclypto, that's the way it should be done for a css compliant browser, just as you mentioned:
width: 80%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;

But because of some IE incompliancy you also need to add 'text-align: center;' to the body element (if there's no other block element outside the table) and then put back 'text-align: left;' or what you would need for the table element. If you use table for your base layout, another possible way is to put a 'div' element outside and give the old css incompliant property 'align="center"' to the table element.
