Often it is because the designer doesn't know any better (for example, they build a fixed-width design and then simply let it fall where it may--which is on the left by default). As for how to build a 3-column site 640 pixels wide that floats in the middle: The easiest way to get the 640px width is to slap the whole thing in a "container" div with width: 640px. Then you can center that div and the three columns will be centered. There are tons of sites and techniques dealing with both the centering issue and three column layouts. Everyone has their favorites, but I would recommend starting with Google and working your way through the resources to get an idea of how it's done: [url=http://www.google.com/search?query=css+centering]CSS centering[/url] and [url=http://www.google.com/search?query=css+3+column+layout]CSS 3 column layout[/url]. Give it a shot and then post back here if you have any questions. Good luck! :) ___________________________ Suho: [url=http://www.liminality.org]www.liminality.org[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/4837]Cell 270[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/5689]Sig Rotator[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/22173]the Fellowship of Sup[/url] \| "Hooray for linguistic idiots and yak milk!"
