Greetings,

I downloaded the Three Column layout tutorial by Molly Holzschaig, it's great. However there is one problem I'm having. That is that I want the content to center on the page. So I created a div called wrapper in which I nested all the other divs. I set the margins of wrapper so that it centers. But now I'm having problems aligning the divs that I want to use as columns. If I use absolute it will vary according to monitor settings. Does anyone know of a way to do this or another tutorial that they can refer me to?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Fred

Hi Fred

Is there not a wrapper div already on the page? If so apply the align attribute to the wrapper. I've not used the tutorial you've mentioned, but I have used this site which is superb!

You bet!

It's the only successful implementation of a CSS based multi-column layout I've seen. Helps you take your table based pages and turn them into CSS - fantastic!

Good Luck
