Hello,
I'm able to figure out most html things.. and have started learning css.. I have successfully gottne a style sheet implemented to allow for multiple layered background images and such, but have run into a problem - by aligning things to left and right, viewers with different monitors are getting significantly different results. Folks with old fashioned monitors see the page as it should be, but on a widescreen monitor there is a significant amount of empty space in the center. This is all right I guess, but if I could fix this it would be ideal.
What I am trying to do is create some sort of margin or division in the center (beneath the header) to which all items on either side of which will align themselves... thus regardless of what size or type monitor a visitor has, everything will always be pretty centered.
Thanks in advance, hoping its something simple... I tried searching for an answer, but my experiments with css columns were... less than satisfactory...
