Guys I'm strugling with my own theme. I want to center it, and I still haven't found a way to fix it. Looking to other themes won't help me so far so I wanted to ask this in the newbie section.

What am I doing wrong on this site.

Your syle sheet may be overriding your html tag in your top table.

If you add this to your "middle" table, it should center itself.



  <
table cellspacing="0" [b]align="center">[/b]
    <
tr>
      <
td id="leftcolumn">

        


Hope that helps...

Already tried it, but my text goes centered on that.

have you tried setting the alignment values for the blocks in the style sheet?

Well, firefox is showing the website like I wanted correctly. I'm still not sure what is going on.

But then I've another question. In my css I can't find a clue where to remove the lines that are around my boxes on the 'startpage'.

Anybody?

Technical reason: IE incorrectly cascades the text-align property to block level child elements.

Workaround: Take a look at CSS Centering 101 which will explain the technique.

Per your second question, in Firefox you can get information about how a page is rendered (what css rules are being applied) by using the DOM Inspector (Tools->DOM Inspector)

More Info:

Some interesting options you said there.

The fastest solution for me was to take an excisting theme that was already centered. I applied my theme on it an it seems to work perfectly now.
