Centering Webpage with different Resolutions
|
|
|
| I've used the technique of creating blank white rectangles on either side of
my site so that when it appears in the browser it gives the impression of
being centred.
Which is fine on my comp at a high resolution. Problem is with lower
resolutions they are required to scroll across to view the website.
I know Publisher is not an advanced web editing tool but is there any other
way to make the centering more compatible with other resolutions?

| Swana,
You haven't specified which version of Publisher you're using, but here are
a few things to consider:
If you design your pages for 800 x 600, you CAN center your pages in any
resolution by inserting a <center> tag in the notepad file under the </head>
(that's end of head) tag, provided, however, that you DO NOT USE a background
image in your design. For if you have a background image instead of a plain
color, the body of the page will be centered but the image will stay
left-justified and may "ghost" at the right, depending on your image size.
With Publisher 2000, this is done after you "Save as web page", which
creates a "Publish" folder on your local disk. Before you copy and paste the
folder's content on the website server, you open the folder and double-click
on each HTML file -one at a time- to run the page on your local browser. Then
you click on >View>Source and in the source file you locate the </head> tag
and insert a <center> tag underneath it and click on >File>Save. You do this
on every HTML page from Index.html to the last page#.html. Then you can copy
and paste the lot to your server or via an FTP wizard if you use this
contraption.
If yours is a later version of Publisher, I've no idea whether it offers the
"Save as webpage" option or if it uploads the files directly to the server
via a wizard. In this case someone else may be able to explain a suitable
procedure.

| hey this may sound weird but I did this to center a website in Publisher
2003. Just let your text or picture boxes hang off the page about and inch
on the right. Save it like that and publish it. Looks ok to me and no one
has said they can't read it.

I'm using Publisher 2003 with SP1.
I've tried editing pages before by inserting tags manually via notepad which
is fine it works. But its a pain in the arse to have to keep reediting each
page when ya save the file because it overwrites any changes.
I dont use the built in publishb to web function. I use a separate FTP
program.
