Centering Masterpages but keeping Conetents alone?

[satchi]

Hi, this sounds somewhat trivial but I can't seem to get it right. I have a page that is created via Master/Content pages. There are three tables: header, content, and footer. I want to center the whole page in the center of the screen, but leave the text/pics/etc in the content page un-centered.

I've been trying to add text-align:center to div tags and using css (body tag) where i set the margin to auto, but it's still centering my text within my contents.

Is...there an easy and clean way to do this? Thanks...

yOu can achieve this by enclosing it all in a this

<div align="center">

</div>

Firstly, ditch the tables - there's no need for them in this case as they are not supposed to be used for page layout.

Then, create a container div, set it to "margin: 0 auto" in your CSS file (rather than use outdated attributes such as align like in the above example). If you haven't set the text alignment anywhere, it will default to left anyway. You can also style any elements you want within the container by referencing them by class, id or type.

Hi, thanks for the replies. The <div align="center"> works nicely! Thanks.

I have been reading about using div to do layouts other than table. I'll have to check on that later as I'm currently learning ASP extensively . Thanks again
