3. Can't you just do the same thing with style for the <body> tag?

Example of external style sheet entry:

[div class="excerpt" style="border: 1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em;"]body {
    width: 800px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}
Or you could create a div-element container to make things more obvious:

[div class="excerpt" style="border: 1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em;"]Example external style sheet entry:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#ffffff; border:none;"]div.page-container {
    width: 800px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}
Basic html code:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#ffffff; border:none;"]<html>
    <head>
        blah .. blah .. blah
    </head>

    <body>
        <div class="page-container">

            your code here

        </div>
    </body>
</html>[br /]

jQuery experts...how would you center this on a page? [View all] Amerigo Vespucci Apr 2012 OP

I'm not sure I understand what exactly you want centered. Make7 Apr 2012 #1

Thank you...that definitely worked for the gallery (the blue shaded area & its contents)... Amerigo Vespucci Apr 2012 #2

Can't you just do the same thing with style for the <body> tag? Make7 Apr 2012 #3

You're probably right...I will have to try that. Amerigo Vespucci Apr 2012 #4

Since your page will be centered, maybe just make the gallery full width... Make7 Apr 2012 #5

Thanks again... Amerigo Vespucci Apr 2012 #6

YW, I'd like to see it when it's done - PM me. ( n/t ) Make7 Apr 2012 #7
