Skatefx Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Small Patch of Grass in CT Insane since: Mar 2001	posted 12-14-2002 20:45 I am looking to absolutly position an table in the center of my webpage. I am trying to do this because there is a picture I would like to position at the top of my table halfway in the table and halfway out of the table. I was wondering how I would go about aligning the horizontial axis to center and the vertical axis to a variable such as 30px from the top. Does anyone get what I am saying or is it too confusing? + Mike +

If you don't get a reply on how to do it with CSS then this demo page might help give you some ideas. http://www.bugimus.com/gurus/center_div.html . . : slicePuzzle

If you want it to look like it's centered in all resolutions, why not do it with relative positioning and percentages?

H][RO Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Australia Insane since: Oct 2002	posted 12-17-2002 23:08 Would be pretty easy to just have a div with its contents set to center, the just put your table within those tags. Personally i wouldnt use the percentage thing, when you resize your window it doesnt always seem to stay in the center, i think it takes the percentage from the left of your image? So this means it wont always be even. Are you using CSS skate?
H][RO Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Australia Insane since: Oct 2002	posted 12-17-2002 23:15 Pretty easy with CSS actually skate, this goes withing your <head> <style> #myTable { top: 30px; text-align: center; } </style> then in your body <div ID="myTable"> <table> <tr><td>Table Data Etc</td></tr> </table> </div> That would be a really easy way to do it imo, if you keep your CSS simple too it should work in most browsers. Anyhow i think thats what you were after let me know if im wrong ,hope it helps :0

Pretty easy with CSS actually skate,

this goes withing your <head>

<style>
#myTable
{
top: 30px;
text-align: center;
}
</style>

then in your body

<div ID="myTable">
<table>
<tr><td>Table Data Etc</td></tr>
</table>
</div>

That would be a really easy way to do it imo, if you keep your CSS simple too it should work in most browsers.

Anyhow i think thats what you were after let me know if im wrong ,hope it helps :0
