Hi,

I am fairly new to dreamweaver, and have been asked to create the following;
a site sized 800x600 to remain centred (vert+horiz) at all times. I have centred horizontically, but cannot for the life of me work out how to position it centred vertically.

ANY help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much

thats for 800x600, you set it to 50% half the dimension of the page, and then have a negative margin, to halve the element, thus absolutely centering it <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
