to center the page, write in .container:

Code:

margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;

Live Preview link doesn't work due to time-out. Also, which doctype tag do you have?

teedoff · 11-03-2011, 04:25 PM

Not exactly sure what you're trying to do. But I'm guessing you want that image centered and full width. The problem is you have leftPanel ABOVE your header code, as well as center panel that has a width of 60%. That specifically is what's pushing your header image to the right.

If I'm way off base, please provide more detail on what you want your page to look like.

i started over and cleaned things up abit, i edit the php/css code in my first post and addes images, the live url works, it is just that im not hosting it 24/7.

yes i would like the whole design to be centered on the page and not have any movements of the pictures(the black background bars) to left/right whenever i zoom in.

Also want it to look the same in all browsers.

Hello epxine,
I think a good place for you to start would be to fix some of these errors - http://validator.w3.org/check?verbos...x.no-ip.org%2F

Then you might try to use a 3 column layout that works as an example of how to lay yours out. Look at a couple different ones here:
one
two
three

As far as centering goes...
To center an element you need three things:

a valid DocType
an element with a width
that elements right/left margins set to auto
