Hello,

I am working on a website and I added layers.. the site is designed for 800 by 600 res. and looks fine but when I change to a higher resolution the layers move from where i originally intended them to be!

How can fix this to were the layers will stay in place in deferent resolutions?


thanks

lets see the code.

Are you using the design view? You should really learn code, DONT USE THE DESIGN VIEW.

See, you have to remember that dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG editor, and not a graphics program. Using it like a graphics program will cause far to many layout problems. So yeah, learn at least the basics of HTML. wink

CSS Layering? If you want to center a site a simple trick that I use sometimes is this div centering trick:

site code goes here


What this does is create a box (800 by 600 pixels) and postion the top left corner in the middle of your screen (or 50% to the right and 50% to the bottom) then we make the margins negative half the amount, thus postioning dead center. The postion: bosolute means that it still exactly 800 by 600 and is needed to make the hack/trick work.

The fallbacks to this is if the broser window is smaller then 800 by 600, the site will no logner be centered.

I hope this helps! But yeah, to reiterate the revious fella, its always good to know the basics!

Tu Amigo Miguel
