Problem: Dynamically center layers on centered web page - IE + Firefox

Hi,

Hope no-one is offended by my probably noob question...

Context:
I have a web page design, which always centres in the middle of the
screen (using a 100%*100% HTML-table). Now I also use layers, that get
visible when something is clicked. All works fine.

Problem:
All works fine... Except when chancing screen resolution or when
resizing the browser window :( I need the layers to stay centered on the
centered HTML-table, when resizing the web page or when a user uses a
different screen resolution.

Question:
Is it possible to dynamically center/reposition the layers I use, when a
user is resizing the web page or when a user uses a different screen
resolution..?

Many thanks for any help/advise/links,

Frederik, Amsterdam, Holland

I'll assume "layers" in this context means positioned or floated elements,
which is I believe a Dreamweaver term. Be aware the term "layers" is not
properly a CSS term, and can mean other things in different contexts.

It might be possible, but first you need to provide a link for us!

Set up a test case which demonstrates the problem with as little detail as
you can. Post the URL here and we'll look it over.
