Question Website layout problem

Morning all,
I am new here and have a question. (Already )
I have designed a website for a charity and the layout doesn't want to centre.
(You know - doesn't matter what size scren it will centre the site)
If i set everything into a table the menu goes nuts??? but not sure how else to center it other than to try and do that?

Please can anyone help as they are being interviewed for "Chat" magazine this month and want the site to look right.

As i said i am new and don't reall understand what i have done wrong.
The site is www.thelewispriorfoundation.org

Thanks for any help in advance guys

Re: Website layout problem

Assuming its apDiv1 that needs it. It's hard to really tell with the random names generated by whatever software you used.

place the CSS in your document with all the other css towards the top.

like #apDiv1 {width:800px; margin:0 auto;}

Problem is the menu is absolutely positioned so it won't budge at all and such, the site really is too messed up to fix and would take a long time to correct without a rebuild. Basically everything would have to be changed for you to center your layout.

Re: Website layout problem

Webbie, Here is a quick and dirty layout template for you to use. Add your links into the existing href tags, your content etc and just recycle the index.html file for your other pages. I wish I had more time to help you build this out. Hope this helps you get it off the ground! I even built in a simple and basic CSS driven menu system like the one you already have. Its not the "best" I have done but I only had 10 mins to spend on it. Best of luck!
