Centralise Site in Browser

[Lofty]

I'd like to make my site so that it displays in the middle of the browser
whatever the rosolution the screen is set to. How is this done?

A couple of ways, I have tutorials on both at my website.
You can just check the "Center site in Browser" checkbox on the layout
properties.

Lofty,

You might want to take a look at our EZRound product.

http://www.ezround.com

It makes it simple to center the website (the method works across all
browsers) and it adds a new look and feel to your existing sitestyles
because you can have a border (with rounded or square corners) and even
drop shadows around the entire design.

You can see NOF specific examples at:

http://www.ezround.com/centered


EZRound works with NOF 7 - 10 and the new 2.1 release generates 100%
compliant HTML so that the EZRound design won't stop your website from
passing W3C validation.

There is a free trial version of the product and we have thousands of NOF
users...

Good luck on your projects!

Thanks for your reply.
The Center check box is greyed out because i'm using a Fixed Page Layout. Is
it possible to get this to center in some way or do I have to go to Dynamic
Page Layout?

Fixed Page Layout is going to cause you problems all the way around.

OK....I've change to Dynamic Page Layout and the Center tick box now works,
but it only center the body of the page. What about the frame I have on the
LHS with the navigation buttons. Can I center the whole lot somehow?

Hi Lofty,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the answer to your question is
no, you can't do that.

This is not a limitation of NOF, it's a limitation of HTML frames.

Best is to scrap the frames idea. Horrible, horrible, horrible!

Hi Lofty,
There many ways to build web sites. Prevailing wisdom is that frames are
evil except when used properly and in special situations where nothing else
will do. I have used frames for special purposes but I would never use them
on an entire web site. It makes the site overly complex and harder to
navigate.

Master borders are not the same as frames. Frames are not the same as
master borders. You can place navigation inside a master border and have
your pages center without a problem.

Here is an example & tutorial on creating a centered page on a two-tone
background image. Navigation is on the left side.
http://alt-web.com/Tutorials/centered.html

Hope this helps you see it another way and best of luck on your project.
