Hi,

This is probably such a ridiculously simple question that you'll wonder what I'm even doing trying to make a skin. But it seems that while I can figure out the complicated things like embedding panes and skin objects, I am having alot of trouble figuring out something that ought to be simple.

I can't figure out how to write the html code so that it centers my content on the page.

Imagine that you have an html page and you have one table with one cell that is 800 px wide. How do you get the table to be in the center of the browser window when you maximize the window, instead of being on the left side? I've tried coding it a number of different ways and it just stubbornly stays on the left of the page. I'm sick of trying to figure it out!

Please help!

~Bee

have you tried making a div tag that has 100% width and align set to center, then put your table inside the div tag.

I think that will work.

Try align="center" in the first table or div.

something like this:

<table style="width: 800px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: thin black solid;">
 <tr>
  <td style="border: thin black solid;">&nbsp;</td>
 </tr>
</table>

renders a table 800 pixels wide with the left and right margins set to 'auto' which should center it (I've added borders to the table and cell so you can see below):
