This is most likely a very easy thing to do, but I don't know how! Do you nest
a table in another table and convert table heigth and width to %? Needless to
say, I am working in Dreamweaver. Thank you.

Also, add the following into the #wrapper style (unless you want the contents of the main area centre aligned):

text-align: left;

One last thing :)

Setting the width of the wrapper element to 800px will give you a horizontal
scroll bar if the user is on a screen resolution of 800x600.

Generally I would set the maximum size of a fixed width layout to be 760px
which fits in nicely.

And to streamline it,

replace:
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto;

with:
margin:0x auto;

How about -

margin:0 auto;

Well spotted Murray,

That was of course a deliberate mistake to make sure you were paying attention ;)
