I just made this and I don't know how to use wrapper div to center my page
this is the style.css( ignore the images):
@charset "utf-8";
.banner {
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
background-image: url(images/today%27s-beauty_02.gif);
width: 640px;
position: relative;
height: 106px;
}
.upperbar {
position: relative;
width: 640px;
height: 30px;
background-image: url(images/today%27s-beauty_09.gif);
}
.leftbar {
position: relative;
width: 136px;
height: 500px;
background-image: url(images/today%27s-beauty_30.gif);
}
.content {
position: relative;
height: 500px;
width: 504px;
top: -500px;
left: 136px;
background-color: #F284EB;
}
and this is index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>test divs</title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

<body tracingsrc="photoshop file/today's beauty.gif" tracingopacity="54">
<div class="banner">
<div align="left">Content for class "banner" Goes Here</div>
</div>
<div class="upperbar">Content for class ".upperbar" Goes Here</div>
<div class="leftbar">Content for class "leftbar" Goes Her</div>
<div class="content">content for class &quot;content&quot; Goes Here</div>
</body>
</html>

wrap a wrapper div (looks like width 640px) around the page and set the left and right margin properties to auto. For IE6, I believe you also have to set the body text-align to center.

lol, sure since I have no choice
now I'm begining to hate Divs too :x
I just started putting text in one of the div tags and it shifted down (not showing in dreamweaver ) in firefox but the position pixles are still the same
of course it's a total mess in IE7
funny thing I have no choice but to put up with it :(
BTW, I don't see any difference between AP Div and Div tags :confused:
they are all written <div>

some call then divs for relative and layers for absolute but basically they are all divs just with different attributes re positioning

It doesn't have to be. Browser inconsistencies are not that great and they are predictable. It's just practice :wink:
