I am going crazy on this, I have a basic html skin that I designed in VS2008. I view it in IE and it looks the way I want it, content is aligned to the center in IE. When I upload it and apply skin to DNN the content is aligned to the left. I try everything to aligned to the center but nothing is working. Can some one send me a working basic skin that the content aligns to the center so I can how it works. I am including code from HTML and CSS files;

HTML

 <body>
 <div id="mainform">
 
  <div id="logoPad">
   [LOGO]
  </div>
  <div id="header">
   [SEARCH]
   [LOGIN]
   [USER]
  </div>
  <div id="menu">
   [NAV]
  </div>
  <div id="content">
   <div id="ContentPane" runat="server">
   </div>
   
  </div>
 
 </div>
</body>
 

 

CSS

body {background:#FFF url(images/body_bg1.png) repeat-x top left; height:100%; margin:0px; padding:0px; }

#mainform
{
 background-color:white; width:920px; margin:auto; padding:10px;
}

Try adding text-align:center to your body style.

Then add text align:left to you #mainform style.  If that doesnt work try wrapping your mainform div with a center tag.  Depending on what doctype you are using this may or may not validate but it should definitely center your stuff. 

Good Luck

You have to have the right doctype.

By default DNN use <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

I think your skin is designed to follow !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

Look in the standard skin in rel 4.9 or 5.0 how you change the default doctype.

It's the doctype margin auto does not work in IE for cetnering if the doctype is not XHTML

just open your ascx skin and add this above the html code

 

<script runat="server">
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
   Dim skinDocType as Control = Me.Page.FindControl("skinDocType")
   If Not skinDocType is Nothing
      CType(skinDocType, System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal).Text="<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"" ""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"">"
   End If
End Sub
</script>

 

You can also inlcude a doctype.xml but i dont liek that because each skin needs to have its own xml doctype  but you can choose otherwhise
