Centering Image on page

[Charliesz]

Hi there.

Trying to create an intro page for my website which is basicaly a clickable image on which links to the first page.

Is there a way to center an image in the middle of the page with any resolution(800x600,1027x768...)? like an absolute center kind of thing

Thanks

What are you trying to do, seduce them into your site? They're there already, just take them straight to the site!
Seriously, a lot of highly respected web developers and usability experts have spoken against intro pages.

But if you must:

<div [COLOR=red]style="text-align:center;"[/color]>
  <a href="anotherpage.html">
    <img src="an_image.jpg" alt="description of the image" />
  </a>
</div>

Have a read up on css - it'll make your web designs better, easier to do, and easier to maintain.

To center it verticaly use;

<div style="text-align:center; [COLOR=red]margin-top:25%;[/color]">
  <a href="anotherpage.html">
    <img src="an_image.jpg" alt="description of the image" />
  </a>
</div>

You may have to play with the percentage depending on your image size.

RE: intro pages and splash screens


Imagine being forced to watch a commercial everytime you went to the supermarket/store BEFORE they would let you in?
(If you are in the UK think Jamie Oliver and Sainsbury's)

It would get tiresome fast wouldn't it?

I remember reading in a column about web page design that the only people who like the intro pages are the people who design them and the people who buy them. The viewing customers MAY find them cute the first time, annoying the second time, and obnoxious after that.

They're just like the copyright warning on DVDs. A pain to sit through, but easy to skip (assuming you have a chipped DVD player, of course... er... ;o)

I close my eyes during that bit, then I can do what I like with the DVD and the law can't touch me!
No, it's true! Honest!
