Hello everybody,

i hope someone can help me with this.
I made a website with a fixed jpg as background. So it is not possible to let the size be automatic on the viewer his/her screen. But what i want is that for people with big screens, the website comes in the middle of the screen. Is this possible??
The temporaly adress of the site is :

Hope someone can help me out :)

Tnx in advance

so to make your background center make a style for body...so in DW you would go to add a new style>for a html tag (the second option i believe) then you would go to background and there you will specify the image and for horizontal and vertical positioning you would choose middle and center. Also for repeat chose no repeat.

to make your whole site centered make one table 100% width by 100% height and chose the verticla and horizontal alignment as middle and center and then go from there.

hope this helps [soapbox]

I'd use several backgrounds. Thsi script only does two, but you can add more.


<Script Language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>

var scrw = screen.Width

if ( scrw <= &quot;800&quot; )
{
document.write(&quot;<body background=regbg.jpg>&quot;)
}
else
{
document.write(&quot;<body background=largebg.jpg>&quot;)
}
</Script>

Both thanx for your reply !

Im still not succeeding, i tried both methods.
I think it is the problem that i dont use a background. The image on the back is a jpg in cell, and i worked with layers and iframes.

Do you maybe have another solution??

heres one....go with my second solution and make one table 100% height and width
then then the td tag put background=&quot;yourimage&quot;
that will give you the image in your center cell...Just make sure your cell is the same size as your image and from there just split the cell up accordingly and you can keep the look....
another suggestion is to use Div layers and change the positioning from absolute to relative (for NN compatibility). [soapbox]

I see what you want to do now.

I'd do this.

(1) Make a table 100% width. Drop your large image into it. Center it horizontally.

(2) Get the project 7 extensions. Snap layers, and redoit.

(3) Run the redoit extension.

(4) Use the snap layers extension to line your layers up in relation to the main background image.

Its a little bit of work, but it will work cross browser and multi resolution, even when screen is resized.

First, TNX TO ALL OF YOU GUYS ! ! great the support.

i tried all the advice. where i am now :
I have an image in the center, so far so good.

But snapping the layers to the image is not working, because i get everytime on events the only posibility : &quot; onmouseover&quot;.
How can i change that ? or am i doing something wrong??

I'm sorry i am asking so much :'(

I tried 100 of times, but he is not displaying my image :
background=&quot;new_project.jpg&quot;

Can you help me out with that? Because i understand that i dont have any trouble with the layers if i use this way???

Tnx

<td height=&quot;100&quot; width=&quot;100&quot; background=&quot;yourimage&quot;>blah</td>
make sure you get your image location right
ie...if you image is in a folder called pics and that folder is in the root directory then you would have to have pics/imagename instead of yourimage. [soapbox]
