modifying emx_naf_left.css for 800x600

I used the emx_nav_left.css template in DMX 2004 for my website
(www.door2doorcomputer.com). It just isn't working well for me at 800x600. I
don't want visitors to see any changes to the site when they click to another
page and I don't want them to have to scroll left and right. I know that the
nav bar on the top of the page may be too wide and my pics on many of the pages
are a limiting factor, too. I am interested in centering the whole site in the
middle of the page, so that it is centered at 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, etc.

Thanks for your help ahead of time,
Eric

You have basically gutted the whole page. The CSS menus on the left (or
right) are missing, as are the subglobal menus. That being the case, you
can delete this from your page since it's not needed at all -

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>

as well as this -

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>

Now - with regard to the layout, it sounds like you want a fixed width, but
centered arrangement - is that it?

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay. Yes, I do want a fixed width with centered arrangement. Thanks for any help again.

Very well. Then add this to the CSS -

body{
font-family: Arial,sans-serif;
color: #333333;
line-height: 1.166;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background: #cccccc url(../images/bg_grad.jpg) fixed;
text-align:center; /*Dang IE! */
}

#pageWrapper {
position:relative;
width:760px; /*adjust to suit */
margin:0 auto;
}

and change the HTML as follows.

Change this -

<body onmousemove="closesubnav(event);">
<div class="skipLinks">

to this -

<body onmousemove="closesubnav(event);">
<div id="pageWrapper">
<div class="skipLinks">

and this -

</body>

to this -

</div>
</body>

and see what happens.
