	Hi (: I was wondering if anyone could help me out, I am trying to center a layout (I don't have it online) But I simply used the < center > tags to center the background layout image, but now I cannot seem to find the correct coding to use on the content ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

	Nononono, never use the <center> tag to center well, anything. :-/ (of course, I'm talking in xhtml terms but eh..) Use CSS. :D #layout { width: ###px; margin: 0 auto; } You can then use floats to float your content and such. Or you can use absolute positioning.

	Well, I haven't done this in awhile I think... but if I can recall, it goes like this body { text-align: center; } #divid { margin: 0 auto; width: #px; } if you want to throw your background in there add to the body background: url(image.jpg); background-position: top center; That allows you to not just place the image on the page and then put divs over it but actually make the background a background.

	Ekk I was hoping to do this without CSS. I hate CSS. Its way over my head. I'll give this a shot though, thanks fellas (:
