Okay, so I've been using a program called Web Page Maker V2 to cut corners on my HTML coding time. Unfortunately I realized that when I use this program the way it codes the position of text and images is pixel form.
This is an example of how it codes it

Code:
<html>
<div id="text1" style="position:absolute; overflow:hidden; left:200px; top:200px; width:200px; height:200px; z-index:0">
<div class="wpmd">
<div><font class="ws14" face="Verdana"><B>Text 1</B></font></div>
<div><font class="ws14" face="Verdana"><B>Text 2</B></font></div>
</div>
</div>
</html>

When I'm making this site it all looks good and lines up in the middle of my browser. However, this is not true for people that use a screen resolution higher or lower than mine. So what I am trying to do is code the whole site in a frame and make the position code from the left/top of the frame so I can put a center tag on it and have it in the middle of the page. I cant get the position to code this way at all.

If anyone could help at all with my problem I would greatly appreciate it.

Here is a solution :

Code:

<html>
<table width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="middle" align="center">
<div class="wpmd">
<div><font class="ws14" face="Verdana"><B>Text 1</B></font></div>
<div><font class="ws14" face="Verdana"><B>Text 2</B></font></div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</html>

Yeah, I could code it in tables but I'm not really looking to do all the table coding. I'm trying to take what they gave me and put it into a single table cell or something that would let me base the left/top off of it.

Hmm, then you should propably do it with javascript (detect the user's resolution and relocate the div), but don't ask me how, I am a php boy Smiley

Whoa, what's with all the DIVs? WYSWYG editors tend to put a lot of extra code in which can make the page longer to load and harder for the search engines to spider.

If you start editing the code by hand, I would suggest you don't edit the file in Page Maker again, you could create a mess. I'm not familiar with this editor, so someone may correct me on this statement.

I would recommend you look at a CSS guide online somewhere. All of those divs could be rewritten as one.

Then your code would be:

<html>
<div class="newformat">
<p>Text 1</p>
<p>Text 2</p>
</div>
</html>

or use the span element if the text is on the same line.

BTW, search engines and most users hate frames. If you have trouble with using CSS and floats, use a table for layout before you use frames.

That's very true. I agree.
