I position the table exactly how I want it in dreamweaver and when I go to view it in I.E. explorer it's like moved 5-10 pixels to the left. It's stupid and annoying. Why isn't this thing where I put it? Can someone help?

I just told you the code to get it done.   allsmiles Posted at 2:52 am on May 12, 2008 yea cos if it isn't tabular data you will be torn into pieces and there will be no cake for you. I mean, it's the biggest sin you know. rand0mguy Posted at 9:47 pm on May 10, 2008 Code: #table_id{margin:0;} why u using tables? it better be tabular data Another Chance Posted at 11:26 pm on May 9, 2008 Yeah I get that.

JeremyM Posted at 5:43 am on May 9, 2008 If it's center...do this: Code: <div class="whatever class"> put ALL content in here </div> That will be your HTML. This is your CSS: Code: .whatever class { width: 800px; left: 50%; margin-left: -400px; } You know what I'm doing there?   I'm telling the browser to bring everything to the middle of the page at 50%. Then, I'm telling it to subtract 400 pixels from that (half of your width of the whole table). So whatever your width is, divide that by 2 and put that as a negitive value in your left margin. Another Chance Posted at 11:02 am on May 8, 2008 It's center. I'll try that.

I know but they won't act right. I place something right where I want it in dreamweaver and it's displaced in the browser. What kind of shit is that. What can ya do. Like I said, DW doesn't render the same as a browser. If it does, which is rare, there is usually something else messed up. Use the CSS panel to edit the positions. Make sure they are absolute and not relative. Is your page center or left aligned?
