Hi, I got a quick question. Well, two.

Does anyone know of a forum liek anandtech for website designers? I've looked and all I can find are forums with posts from October :(

Just lookign for a place with alot of experienced web designers

My question is this

I own a website which can be seen here and as you can see I have taht logo in the middle, I was wondering how I Can make it centered for everyone regardless of resolution. Currently it is only centered if you are on 1024 x 768 resolution adn the window is fully maximixed. Is this posisble?

Thanks in advance

Use a percentage for width instead of pixels. For instance:

<DIV ALIGN="CENTER">
<TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0">
<TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER"><img src="logo.gif" width="307" height="55"></TD></TR>
<TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Co<font color="#FFFFFF">Coming soon! </font></font></TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</DIV>

The reason why this works is because it's taking the percentage of the screen instead of a set pixel width. You can use any percentage and it will still be centered... set border=1 to play around.

There are many sites out there for web people. I visit Were-Here Forums the most for that stuff... mostly a Flash help board, but you can see from post counts that it's very popular for all web people... they have an HTML-only section along with site-checks.

ick, rh71, having some torubles.

I entered that HTML in and it didnt seem to work, is it by any hcance possible you'd be able to re-create the full HTML then repost it. I'd be increidbly grateful, then I can look at it and i'll be able to figure it out for the future. What I need is it for to be in absoloute center, center vertically and horizontally, not just horizontally.

Just add height=100% along with the width.

Full HTML code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Informaca.com</TITLE>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#000000" text="#000000">
<TABLE align="center" width="100%" height="100%" border="1">
<TR>
<TD align="center"><IMG src="logo.gif" width="307" height="55">
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD align="center"><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFFFFF">Coming soon!</FONT>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

just think it through... to center it horizonally, you just use the center tag.... to center it vertically, you put it in a table and make sure the vertical align of the cell is set to middle, and the table takes up the whole space. makes sense, no?
