centering static page elements

[blues77]

Does anyone know how I can center a image on my document when it is maximized but doesn't keep recentering it when the window in shrunk. In order words i want it to be perfectly centered when the page in viewed normally but doesn't change positions when the window is shrunk.
any help is appreciated!

thanks

hi,

If you have a fixed width table you can center the image in that. Problem is what width do you set the table? Remember it should be viewable in different resolutions.

<table summary=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; cellpadding=&quot;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;&quot;>
<tr>
<td align=&quot;center&quot;>
<img src=&quot;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;>
<td>
<tr>
</table>
you could center the table and allow it to move a little when the browser changes size or you could leave it left and there would be no movement. ?

Another thing you might try is to position the image with CSS, enclose the image in a div or span something like this

<span style=&quot;position: absolute; left:300px; top:50px;&quot;>
<img src=&quot;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;>
</span>

Doubt this will solve your problem but play around with it. Hopefully one of the guys knows a better way!

use layers

<div style=&quot;position:absolute; top:250px; left:250px&quot;><img src = &quot;/images/myimage.gif&quot; /></div

this will put a picture 250 pixel down from the top and 250 over from the left. But what you will need to do is to decide what the page size you are creating for (800x600, 1024x786, etc) and then pick the place where your image ins centered.
