Centering a Website - Liquid

Hi,

http://www.cse.dmu.ac.uk/~p04283218/mainframe9/

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I would do this please.

Thanks.

looks like you have allot of things to learn, including css if you want to achieve 'liquid layouts' first I would go to w3schools and learn a little css there, also i made a very basic youtube tutorial that may be handy for you.... good luck.. the trick is, not to give up....

I see that you are using some divs and some tables, so I would switch entirely to using divs. Their better than tables for layout. As far as the liquid layout your site looks like it will be very accommodating for one. There pretty simple. Instead of giving your divs a fixed width use percentages. Like left nav, give that div a width percentage of say 20% and the body part a width of 80% and they will always stay in that ratio with text and images flowing freely in them. Position the divs with floats. I'm sure I left some things out as I haven't really done a fully liquid layout yet myself, but just do a web search for liquid layouts and I'm sure that you will find everything you need.

My mates goin to that uni next yer [:

Lol... it is a small world

There are many good tutorial websites out there on the internet and imho the W3C site is aweful for beginners, or those not used the W3C site.

Try tizag.com, or just use google... there are many good ones out there, and again imho, css is sooo much easier than tables (but then again tables is the one thing i struggle with).
