I'm re-doing a multi-page website I made with Dreamweaver over a decade ago for my Stained glass business. It is old code and I am a do it yourself amateur as a web-site maker, but the site pages look good on browsers, links work, text size ok, images and background graphic look good to me. I'm trying to get one of the pages to center in browser windows so I can do that with all pages. The site uses absolute position to arrange the photo images of leaded-windows and some text boxes. It uses a table for reference links to different gallery and information areas of the site. It uses the built-in Dreamweaver CSS text for style rules.
I followed a Dreamweaver tutorial on centering the page which basically goes like this:
</head>
<body>
<div id ="wrapper">
< web page information/code/ html stuff>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The CSS goes like this
<style type="text css">
<!--
#wrapper{
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1240px;
}
This code looks pretty standard from my inquiries but it is not making the page center in a browser window; the page still hugs the left side. The Dreamweaver community forum, dominated by Nancy O'Shea refuses to help unless I learn the Bootstrap code, and I am not ready for that, having spent many, many hours cleaning up errors on current code and changing some style issues and adding new pages etc. I don't know what is causing the problem: absolute positioning?, the table?, my background graphic gif? If a helpful person knows why my attempt to center is failing It would mean a lot to me. If it would help I will post the entire block of code for the page.
