Ok I'm new to Golive (and building sites in general) on the whole I love it, but there are a couple of things I'd like to do to my site that seem to be working me over. I'm more of a graphics guy just learning the back end aspect of the web.

I'd like to center my webpage (roughly 800x600) in a larger browser window. I'd like the page to remain centered as the window is scaled. I'd like the page to be centered both vertical and horizontally. I'm sure this is a pretty standard action, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it.

Much thanks in advance for anyone who can help this newbie out. I'll be sure to post a link to the site once it's done. :D
 
Rather a late reply and you may have cracked it by now.
Simple way is to position your page centre vertically and horizontally inside a 1 cell table. Set the table size to 100% wide and 100% high. The table will resize with the window and the page will move into the centre.
 
If your not using a strict doctype a simple way is to wrap your page content in < center> tags.
 
How do you, "Set the table size to 100% wide and 100% high?
 
Sorry - late in replying.
In the Table Inspector palette set the 'width' box and the 'height' box both to 'percent' rather than pixels or auto. Type 100 in each box.
