center a layer, not a div tag Report Abuse

There are many good books available at the average public library on Dreamweaver. They would do a better job of answering questions like that than I ever could. My favorites are The Complete Idiot's Guides and The Dummies Guides although your local library may not have those for Dreamweaver.
Best option is to label a DIV with a unique ID or a class and apply the styling via CSS. Conventional wisdom suggests that you then just need to give the div a width and then set the margins to auto. I however allways take the extra step of setting the text alignment on the document body to center - otherwise the centered div generally doesn't work in older versions of IE.





sample code below.


%26lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC ';-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN';


';http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml鈥?br>




%26lt;html xmlns=';http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml';%26gt;





%26lt;head%26gt;


%26lt;title%26gt;%26lt;/title%26gt;


%26lt;meta http-equiv=';content-type'; content=';application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8'; /%26gt;





%26lt;style type=';text/css';%26gt;


body{


text-align: center;


}





#Container{


width: 800px;


margin: 20px auto 40px auto;


/*

}





%26lt;/style%26gt;
